"ما به چیزهای خیلی کمی نیاز داریم تا خوشحال باشیم؛ به چیزهای بیشتری نیاز داریم تا همانطور بمانیم."
— Alain de Botton

Simplified Meaning:
When we first feel happy, it's because of small and simple things like a kind word, a warm hug, or enjoying a favorite meal. These moments give us joy without needing much. But to stay happy over time, we often believe we need more, like constant praise, new gadgets, or exciting experiences. For example, think about getting a new toy as a child. The toy makes you very happy at first, but soon it might not seem as special, and you want something else to feel happy again. This idea is important because it reminds us to appreciate simple joys in life and understand that happiness comes from within, not just from having more things. Learning to find contentment in everyday moments can lead to a lasting sense of fulfillment.
