About this Quote

This quote by Abu Bakr speaks to the idea of the world being a harsh and unforgiving place. It recommends that people are often too busy working for the world, trying to earn a living and provide for themselves and their households, that they forget to look after themselves. The world, in turn, is busy trying to benefit from them, to utilize them for its own gain and after that discard them when they are no longer useful. This quote functions as a suggestion to require time for oneself, to not get too caught up in the stress of life and to bear in mind to look after one's own requirements. It is a pointer to not let the world take advantage of us, to not let it consume us and to remember to look after ourselves.
