Summary

It suggests that a person who lacks money may be considered poor, but someone who is solely driven by the accumulation of wealth is even poorer. The quote asserts that wealth is determined by one's capacity to find fulfillment and happiness in life, and someone who desires more and more, despite already having vast riches, is actually impoverished in their insatiable greed.
