Look at your own povertywelcome itcherish itdon't be afraids

Summary

This quote is suggesting that one should embrace their own poverty (taken metaphorically) and not fear it. Acknowledging one's limitations or shortcomings allows for vulnerability and open-heartedness. By sharing not only one's difficulties but also their love and experiences, one can truly connect with others on a deeper level and live a more fulfilling life. It implies that sharing both the highs and lows of one's existence leads to a more authentic and meaningful human connection.
