It’s great to want to be part of something, but it’s a different thing completely to believe wholly in some type of movement, and to give everything for that something.
Meaning of the quote
It's good to want to be a part of a group or organization, but it's much more important to fully believe in and support a particular cause or movement. Giving everything you have to that cause shows you are truly committed to it, not just going along with the group.
