— Pablo Neruda

Simplified Meaning:
When someone owns nothing, they have nothing to worry about losing. Think of a person who lives a simple life with very few possessions. They don't stress over things getting lost, stolen, or broken because they don't have much to begin with. For example, a monk who owns just a robe and a bowl doesn't worry like a businessperson who has a lot of money, property, and responsibilities. The monk can focus on other things, like inner peace and spiritual growth. The main idea is that having fewer possessions can lead to fewer worries and a more peaceful life. If someone wants to apply this idea, they could try to live more simply and not get too attached to material things.
