“Man is affected not by events but by the view he takes of them.”
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:
People get upset or happy not because of what happens, but because of how they think about what happens. Imagine two people losing their jobs: one person might see it as a terrible disaster and feel very sad, while the other might see it as a chance to find a better job and feel hopeful. It's the same event, but their reactions are different because of how they see the situation. This idea can help us in our lives. When something bad happens, we can try to see the positive side or learn something from it. By changing the way we think about problems, we can feel better and deal with them more easily.
