“If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.”
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:
Changing your surroundings won't always solve your problems because they often come from within yourself. Imagine being annoyed by noisy neighbors and deciding to move to a new apartment. At first, it seems peaceful, but soon you face issues with coworkers at your job. The pattern continues, showing that the source of disturbance isn't external but something within you. To truly find peace and improve your situation, focus on changing your attitudes, reactions, and how you handle stress. By working on self-improvement and personal growth, you can deal with problems more effectively, no matter where you are. Think of it as planting a tree; no matter the soil or location, if the tree itself is unhealthy, it won't thrive.
