The text in this quote "Gifts make servants" by Levi Strauss suggests that when a person gets a gift, they may come to be indebted to the provider, causing sensations of commitment and also subservience. In a way, the recipient is 'shackled' to the provider's compassion or generosity. This can be viewed as a commentary on power characteristics in interpersonal partnerships or perhaps broader societal frameworks.
