Meaning
This frames moral responsibility as something that cannot be excused by personal hurt or insecurity. It can be taken to mean that vulnerability does not cancel duty to treat others with care, and that spiritual language here is used to insist on accountability. It lands when someone wants to justify cruelty as self-protection, and the quote refuses that excuse.
