What that means is: “If you are a fool like me, sometimes you see a sadness, loneliness in the eyes of a person, and you can feel that you can help this person.” The world is wages, “because there are people who, if you try to love them and to help them, let you understand where this discomfort and this worry came in your eyes. It manifests itself in another way.”
