Summary

This quote highlights how denying someone their natural freedoms and basic needs is even more detrimental than physical deprivation. It emphasizes that when one is stripped of their liberty and denied basic amenities, it goes beyond just physical suffering - their very essence and inner self (the soul) are starved and diminished. This suggests that the deprivation of fundamental rights and necessities not only harms the body but also the individual's wellbeing, sense of self, and spirit within.
