"本当に裕福なのは自分が持っている以上を望まない人々です"
— Erich Fromm

Simplified Meaning:
People who are truly rich and happy in life are those who feel satisfied with what they already have. For example, imagine someone who has a small house, a job that pays enough for their needs, and a loving family. If this person feels content and doesn’t constantly desire a bigger house, more money, or expensive things, they are truly wealthy because their happiness is not based on having more stuff. In contrast, someone who always wants more, no matter how much they have, will never feel satisfied or happy. To apply this idea in your life, focus on appreciating and valuing what you already own, rather than always chasing after the next thing. This can bring more peace and happiness, as you won't feel the pressure to always get more.
