“No medicine cures what happiness cannot”
— Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Simplified Meaning:
When we're happy, we feel better both mentally and physically. This suggests that being happy can sometimes have stronger healing effects than medicine. For example, think about a time when you felt really good because you achieved something important or spent time with loved ones; you might not have noticed a headache or felt less pain because your mind was at peace. If someone is always sad or stressed, they can still feel sick even if they take medicine because their mind is not well. A simple way to apply this to life is to focus on things that bring joy, like hobbies or relationships, as they help keep the mind healthy and can make the body feel better, too. So, while medicine is important, finding happiness and staying positive also plays a big role in overall well-being.
