“To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness”
— Gustave Flaubert

Simplified Meaning:
Happiness can come from being carefree, looking out for yourself, and staying healthy. Think about a child playing in a park without a worry about the future or what others think. They are happy in that moment because they aren't overthinking, they are focused on their own fun, and they are full of energy to run around. Adults who stress less, take care of their basic needs, and maintain good health often feel more content. They don’t let every small problem worry them and make time for themselves. By keeping life simple and prioritizing well-being, a person can find joy in everyday moments.
