Aden Peck · Answer 1

He means no work is big or small. I agree with him personally.

Explanation:

It means that there have to be some understanding. That just because one aspect looks not so good in that person's eyes, that doesn't mean that anything will have been looked past upon. If you plan on getting through about anything, you have to see its difficulties as well as its enlightenment. Not, saying one is greater than the other. Which there would be no poem with out the workers who had to sweat. Even if you wrote your poem in a field of grass, there is just as much respect for someone working physically in the field. Nothing is discredited and it all has the same good regards.
