"Le bonheur ne réside ni dans les possessions ni dans l'or le sentiment de bonheur réside dans l'âme"
— Democritus

Simplified Meaning:
True happiness doesn't come from owning lots of things or having a lot of money. It's a feeling that comes from within you, in your heart and mind. For example, you might have many toys, gadgets, or a big house, but that doesn't mean you're truly happy. Think about spending time with family and friends, sharing a laugh, or helping someone in need—these moments often bring a deep, lasting joy that material items cannot. People can use this idea in their lives by focusing more on building good relationships and doing things that make them feel fulfilled rather than trying to collect more and more stuff. Happiness is about the love, kindness, and positive experiences we share, not the things we own.
