When you’re unable to support yourself, others will also be afraid to support you, because they’ll feel it’s a burden on them. When you’re able to support yourself, though, others are instead more willing to support you, because they think it’s an honor for them. The colder and harsher the weather, the less likely others are to offer help in the snow; the more splendid and prosperous your life, the more willing others will be to add flowers to your brocade.
