Quote by Thomas Szasz
The proverb warns; Don't bite the hand that feeds you. But maybe you should, if it prevents you from feeding yourself.
Summary
This quote challenges the conventional wisdom of not causing harm or disrespect to those who support or provide for us. It suggests that there may be situations where we should, metaphorically speaking, bite the hand that feeds us if it means standing up for ourselves or ensuring our own survival and well-being. In such circumstances, prioritizing our own needs and autonomy may be more important than blindly conforming to societal expectations or remaining dependent on others.
