Can someone please yze this quote for me?

The tree that was cut down thrived to avoid the conflict that caused its initial "death", while the one tree that was babied and spoiled died. Sounds like an ogy to oppressed groups. Groups that are oppressed make fantastic works and great achievements, while spoiled groups, like the war-free Switzerland, have nothing on the values of Italy, which was ridden by war. Those who must fend for themselves have a greater will to survive than those fed with a silver spoon.
