It is hard for an empty bag to stand upright.
The proverb means very need of thing makes life impossible. One who has nothing he cannot stand upright in the way of survival. Empty clouds never rain. A man with might, knowledge, perfect character and passion stands upright in life. He stands up in front of every misfortune and mishap. He is like a fulfilled bag that has strength to stand upright. A man who is uneducated, poor, passionless and materialistic he cannot give something out of his life. Can an empty bag give something out?
Man like Che Guevara whose bag of life is full with passion, struggle, education, dare and emotions he stands up in life without any shoulder or support. He stands not just for himself, but he stands also for others. He tries to give others their rights and like a true man, he never lets injustice and inequality take place. He leaves a fine character in history of mankind. He becomes like a fruitful tree which stands upright and gives fruit to everyone. Unquestionably, it happens when a tree bears and struggles in very hours of life.
Those men who have nothing in their lives, they ever need a support or shoulder to stand. They live on others food. Their lives are hand to mouth. They remain homeless and helpless on account of, they have nothing in the bag of life, which can stand upright. They crawl on earth and forget that they have wings to use or they know not skill of flying towards success. Those men are like a stick which cannot stand up without any support.
Alama IQbal says; “If there would be no compulsion in life every one would be god. “ So, compulsion is part of life. One whose bag of life is empty he should be optimistic and struggler and start to fill the bag of life while burning candles of nights. Undoubtedly, drop by drop an ocean becomes. So, one should launch and struggle with passion. An ant can kill an Elephant. So, Nothing is impossible for insurmountable. Indeed, that flower is the most beautiful which smiles in adversity.
