Simplified Meaning:
Running a government often involves taking resources unfairly, which most people understand. Think about a neighborhood group meant to improve the area. Instead of using funds to fix the park, the leaders take the money for themselves. This quote suggests that's what happens in governments; those in power take advantage of their position. Historically, some leaders have done this by taking land or money from their own citizens. This idea teaches us to stay alert and make sure leaders are held accountable. It’s a reminder to choose honest leaders and keep a close eye on how they use their power.
