Meaning
This reads as a compact statement about exclusion answered by inclusion. The first half points to being pushed out, but the second shows a wiser response, meeting rejection with a wider circle instead of a fight. It lands sharply in situations of social rejection, where dignity comes from choosing welcome over revenge.
