Simplified Meaning:
Money has a powerful influence over people's thoughts and actions. When someone hears the sound of coins being dropped into a beggar's cup, it immediately grabs their attention and can stir strong feelings. Consider a street performer: as soon as one person starts giving money, others are likely to do the same. It's because the act of giving sets off an emotional response. People might feel sympathy for the beggar or performer and want to help, or they might want to be seen as generous by others. This quote highlights how money can quickly change the way people think and behave, urging us to consider how our actions might be driven by the influence of wealth.
