“The proverb warns that “you should not bite the hand that feeds you.” But maybe you should, if it prevents you from feeding yourself. ” – Thomas Szasz

My thoughts – whilst the meaning of the proverb is regarding being disrespectful to those that provide for you, not all situations of being provided for are good, human reservations and government benefits are two examples that comes to mind, everything provided for at the cost of suppression and control, leading to depression, crime and low self worth, Sometimes that hand needs to be bitten!
