Summary

This quote suggests that with a combination of ignorance (stupidity) and the ability to eat and digest food well (sound digestion), one can endure or handle many challenging situations in life. It implies that being unaware or not overthinking can sometimes be beneficial, as it allows individuals to face difficulties without overanalyzing or getting overwhelmed. It's a somewhat sarcastic statement, highlighting that sometimes, simplicity and taking things as they come can help navigate through life's obstacles.
