Summary

This quote suggests that the most important obligation a person has is to have self-awareness and self-acceptance. Before one can effectively engage with others and the world, they must first acknowledge and make peace with themselves. "Shaking hands" represents a symbolic gesture of acceptance and understanding of one's own strengths, weaknesses, and identity. By addressing and reconciling with their own inner self, individuals can then venture into personal growth and meaningful relationships with a firm foundation of self-assurance and self-respect.
