Summary

This quote suggests that true qualification for engaging in public conversations lies in being content with not engaging in them. It implies that those who are truly qualified to converse in public are the individuals who possess an inner peace and satisfaction that does not necessitate reliance on external validation or recognition. By being detached from the desire for public conversations, these individuals are considered fit for such discussions as their confidence and self-assurance are not reliant on the opinions or judgments of others.
