Summary
This quote is a playful and humorous response to the common notion that life is full of difficulties and challenges. It suggests that instead of viewing life in a negative way (like a 'shit sandwich'), one should embrace a more lighthearted perspective, comparing life to a joyful and energetic dance like the polka. It encourages people to maintain a positive attitude and not to forget the inherent joy and excitement that can be found in life.
