Meaning
This reads as a comment on how success changes social attention. It points to the way early struggle brings mockery, middle progress brings envy, and visible achievement suddenly attracts supporters who were not there before, which can feel both flattering and suspicious. It lands when someone notices how people around them shift once their efforts begin to pay off.
