Summary

This quote suggests that life is not solely about seeking love and pleasure, but rather, it is a search for something more profound and valuable, metaphorically represented as "treasure". The phrase "If you want to play, you gotta pay" emphasizes the idea that in order to achieve our desires or find true meaning in life, we often have to make sacrifices or put in effort. It suggests that life is a journey where everyone is on a quest, just like diggers, searching for their own treasure or purpose.
