Summary
This quote implies that in a society that is fundamentally flawed or unjustly organized, adhering to traditional beliefs and values (piety) will not make a meaningful impact or bring about positive change. It suggests that societal structures and systems play a crucial role in shaping the effectiveness or significance of religious or moral acts. In a society where power imbalances or systemic injustices exist, simply being pious may not lead to the desired outcomes or address the root causes of problems. Therefore, restructuring or challenging the existing societal framework may be necessary for piety to have a meaningful effect.
