"困っているときや、傷ついているとき、助けが必要なときは、貧しい人々のところに行きなさい。彼らだけが助けてくれる、唯一の人たちです。"
Simplified meaning
When you're in a tough situation or need help, look for assistance from people who have less money. Often, wealthy individuals may not offer support easily, but those who are poor understand hardship and are more willing to lend a hand. Imagine having a flat tire on a lonely road and approaching two houses: one is a mansion, the other is a modest home. It's more likely that the person in the modest home, who has faced their own struggles, will come out and help you. This is because they can relate to your difficulties. By reaching out to those who understand what it's like to go through hard times, you are more likely to find compassion and support. Thus, in life, remembering this can guide you to the right people when you need assistance.
