Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that material wealth is ultimately insignificant. The "loss of wealth" is compared to the loss of "dirt," suggesting that possessions and money are merely superficial and can easily be obtained or lost. The phrase "happy man's without a shirt" implies that true happiness does not stem from material possessions but rather from internal contentment and fulfillment. It encourages individuals to prioritize experiences, relationships, and personal growth over the pursuit of wealth, as these are the aspects that bring lasting happiness and fulfillment.
