If the goods are evil and abandoned on the ground, there is no need to hide them on yourself. If you hate them, you don't have to do it for yourself.
Translation:
For wealth, people hate to throw it on the ground, but they don't have to hide it themselves; People are willing to do their best for public affairs, but not necessarily for their own self-interest.
