Simplified Meaning:

Imagine you're always giving your friend money to buy food because they don’t earn enough. This helps them short term, but it doesn’t fix the real problem – that they don’t have a good job to support themselves. The quote is saying that while it’s important to help people when they’re in need (like giving money to your friend), we need to work towards a world where people don’t need this kind of help anymore. This could mean creating more jobs, ensuring fair wages, or providing education and training so everyone can get a good job. It’s like fixing the root of the problem so that people can stand on their own and don’t need charity to survive. By focusing on these bigger changes, we can make a world where everyone can meet their own needs and no one must rely on others for help.
