Summary

This quote suggests that some individuals have a tendency to become dependent on others when they constantly receive help and assistance. Instead of becoming more proactive, these people may rely even more on the support provided by others, gradually losing their motivation for self-improvement or personal responsibility. In essence, the more effort and aid that is extended towards them, the less initiative they demonstrate in taking care of themselves or their own endeavors.
