"Qui dira si un moment heureux d'amour ou la joie de respirer ou de marcher un matin lumineux et de sentir l'air frais ne vaut pas toute la souffrance et l'effort que la vie implique"
— Erich Fromm
Simplified Meaning:
The message here is about appreciating the simple and joyful moments in life, even when life can be hard. Sometimes, our happy experiences, like feeling loved, taking a deep breath of fresh air, or enjoying a sunny morning, can make all our struggles seem small and manageable. Imagine a tough week at work, where everything seems stressful and tiring. Then, you take a walk in nature, see a beautiful sunrise, and feel peaceful. In that moment, the beauty and joy lift your spirits, making the hard times worth it. It’s like saying that life’s little pleasures can be so powerful that they outweigh our challenges. By focusing on these moments, we can find happiness and strength to keep going despite our problems. So, taking time to enjoy and be grateful for these small joys can help us cope with life's difficulties.
