“Happiness can exist only in acceptance”
— George Orwell

Simplified Meaning:
Finding true happiness often comes from accepting things as they are. When you accept situations you can't change, like a rainy day or missing a bus, you are less likely to feel upset. Imagine a time when you had to move to a new city. If you kept wishing you were back in your old home, you'd feel sad and frustrated. But, if you accepted the move and started to explore your new area, you might find new favorite places or make new friends, bringing happiness. This shows that by accepting reality, instead of fighting against it, you open yourself up to enjoy life more and feel happier. Accepting things doesn't mean you give up on trying to change what's possible, but it helps you focus on enjoying the present moment.
