“The greatest wealth is a poverty of desires.”
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:
When you don't always want more and more things, you actually become happier and richer in a different way. For example, imagine a person who always wants the newest phone or car. They spend lots of time and money chasing these things, but they might still feel unhappy because there's always something better out there. On the other hand, consider someone who is happy with what they have, like spending time with family and friends or enjoying simple pleasures. This person isn't stressed about getting more stuff and feels content with life. They have fewer desires, so they can focus on what really matters and be more at peace. This way, they are rich in happiness, even if they don't have a lot of money or things.
