Polygamy is an endeavor to get more out of life than there i

Summary

This quote suggests that polygamy, the practice of having multiple spouses simultaneously, is an attempt to find more fulfillment or satisfaction in life than what is naturally available. It implies that individuals who engage in polygamy may believe that having multiple partners will bring them greater happiness or a richer experience. However, the quote also subtly implies that such a pursuit may be futile, as it suggests that attempting to extract more from life than it inherently offers may ultimately be unsatisfying or unfulfilling.
