Summary

This quote emphasizes that no individual is inherently worthless or terrible. Rather, it suggests that people's potential is determined by the opportunities, support, and guidance they receive. Comparing people to plants, it suggests that just as competent farming can cultivate flourishing and valuable crops, providing individuals with the necessary care and nurturing can foster their growth and development. Ultimately, it reminds us to be mindful of how we judge others and consider the role we play in helping everyone reach their full potential.
