"私たちは持っているものによって豊かになるのではなく、なくても済むものによって豊かになる。"

Simplified Meaning:
Being rich isn’t about having a lot of stuff; it’s about not needing a lot to be happy or satisfied. Imagine a person who owns only a few items but finds joy in simple things like nature and friends. They don’t need fancy cars or big houses to feel fulfilled. On the other hand, someone with a lot of material wealth might always want more and never feel like they have enough. The first person, who can live contentedly with less, shows true richness because their happiness doesn’t depend on possessions. To apply this idea, focus on appreciating what you have and finding happiness in experiences and relationships rather than always chasing after more things.
