“If there is to be any peace it will come through being, not having ”
— Henry Miller

Simplified Meaning:
Finding true peace in life comes from who we are as people, not from the material things we own. Imagine someone who buys lots of things thinking it will make them happy, like a fancy car or a big house. They might feel good for a short while, but that feeling goes away quickly, and then they want more stuff. In contrast, people who focus on values like kindness, compassion, and loving relationships find lasting satisfaction and peace. For example, a person spending quality time with loved ones or helping others can feel contentment and joy every day. This means that to find real peace inside us, we should work on being a good person rather than collecting more possessions.
