"Les hommes trouvent le bonheur ni par le biais du corps ni par les possessions mais par la droiture et la sagesse."

Democritus

Simplified Meaning:

People don't find true happiness through physical pleasures or by having lots of things. Instead, real joy comes from being a good person and making smart choices. For example, think about someone who buys a new car. They might feel happy for a while, but that feeling doesn’t last very long. In contrast, helping a friend in need or learning something new can bring a much deeper and longer-lasting happiness. Someone who lives honestly and thoughtfully usually feels more content because their happiness isn’t based on temporary things. So, focusing on being kind and wise can lead to a more fulfilling life.
