Summary

This quote highlights the detrimental impact of allowing the fear of poverty to dictate one's life. By solely prioritizing survival and material well-being, without pursuing a fulfilling and meaningful existence, one succumbs to a limited notion of living. If fear reigns supreme, it hinders personal growth, fulfillment, and true 'living' beyond basic sustenance. The quote urges individuals to transcend the fear of poverty and embrace a more holistic approach to life that encompasses not just physical nourishment, but also emotional, intellectual, and spiritual well-being.
