"La plupart des êtres humains ont une capacité presque infinie à tout prendre pour acquis"
— Aldous Huxley
Simplified Meaning:
People often don't appreciate the things they have in their lives because they're used to them. For example, think about the electricity in your home. You probably don't think about how amazing it is that you can simply flip a switch, and the lights come on. It's such a part of daily life that you barely notice it—until there's a power cut. Then you realize just how much you rely on it. This idea can apply to relationships too. Imagine someone who always supports you, like a good friend or family member. You might expect them to always be there and not often show how thankful you are. However, if they were to suddenly be gone, you would quickly understand how much they meant to you. To live a more content life, try to be aware of and grateful for the little things. A simple exercise is to take a moment each day to think about something or someone you're thankful for and acknowledge it. It helps you appreciate what you have and can make you happier overall.
