Summary

This quote suggests that negligence is a destructive force that gradually erodes a person's spirit and undermines their strongest intentions. Just like how rust slowly eats away at metal, negligence eats away at the soul, slowly diminishing one's motivation, determination, and commitment. It implies that neglecting important responsibilities or failing to give proper attention and care can have far-reaching consequences, ultimately weakening the core values and aspirations of an individual.
