"Si seulement nous arrêtions d'essayer d'être heureux, nous pourrions passer un très bon moment"
— Edith Wharton

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when people focus too much on trying to be happy, they forget to enjoy what's happening around them. For instance, if you go to a party but keep worrying about whether you're having fun or not, you might miss out on enjoying the music, the food, and talking to friends. Instead, if you just relax and take things as they come, you'll likely have a much better time. Life has many small joys, like a good meal or a nice conversation, that we can appreciate if we stop stressing about being perfectly happy. By letting go of the pressure to be happy all the time, we can enjoy the simple, everyday moments more.
