Simplified Meaning:
Everyone deserves to be loved and cared for, not just used for what they can do for others. Think about a friendship: a good friend will show they care about you by spending time with you, listening to your problems, and helping you out. They don’t just call you up when they need a favor or when they need something done. If someone only contacts you when they need help moving or fixing something, it feels like they’re taking advantage of you. So, this quote is saying we should treat people like good friends, showing genuine care and respect, not like tools to be used only when it's convenient. You can apply this by making sure to appreciate and support others without expecting something in return.
