Simplified Meaning:

People who are very rich or powerful often don't understand what everyday life is like for most people. They may live in luxury and have access to anything they want, so they don't face the same problems as others. Imagine a wealthy person who has never had to worry about paying rent or buying food. If they meet someone struggling to make ends meet, they might not understand that person's challenges because they’ve never experienced it themselves. This disconnect means the wealthy person can't relate to or really grasp the hardships many face daily. In history, we see this with kings and queens who lived in grand palaces while their subjects starved. This separation made it hard for those in power to make fair decisions for everyone. In our lives, it’s similar to how a CEO making huge profits might not realize that their employees are struggling with low wages. To apply this understanding in real life, when we see leaders or wealthy people making decisions, it’s good to remember they might not see the whole picture. It helps to push for leaders who understand ordinary people's struggles or work to inform and remind those in power about the real issues faced by the community.
