Simplified Meaning:

When people don't have art, books, or community, they live in fear and danger all the time. This kind of life is very lonely, hard, and miserable. Imagine living in a place with no music, no communication with others, and constant threats around you; it wouldn't be a happy life. For example, in history, people who lived in times of war or chaos, where there were no stable communities, often faced these harsh conditions. To avoid such a life, it's important to build a society with culture, education, and social connections. By doing so, individuals can lead safer, more fulfilling lives.
