Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who excel in a subordinate position or come second to someone else's achievements will inevitably be overshadowed by those who are ahead or superior. No matter how talented or successful they may be, their light and recognition will always be dimmed compared to the ones who occupy the top position. It highlights the inevitable inequality and the tendency for society to celebrate and prioritize those who hold the foremost position, often disregarding the achievements of others who may be equally deserving of recognition.
