Simplified Meaning:
This quote expresses the feeling that most people are not good or valuable, with only a few being exceptions. Imagine someone who has been let down by friends many times. From these bad experiences, they start to believe that people, in general, are not trustworthy or deserving of their respect. However, they still acknowledge that there are a few good people out there who are different. This view can make a person feel lonely and disconnected because they find it hard to trust others. If you feel like this, it might be helpful to look for and focus on those few good relationships in your life. This way, you can build a support system and find positive connections despite your broader negative experiences.
