"Nous ne disons pas être nous disons le rien."
— Martin Heidegger
Simplified Meaning:
The quote talks about how we often focus on what isn't there rather than what is there. Imagine you have ten apples, but you keep thinking about the one apple that's missing from the basket. Instead of appreciating that you have ten apples, you're fixated on the empty spot where the missing apple should be. In everyday life, people often concentrate on their problems and what they lack instead of appreciating what they already have. For example, someone might have a good job, a loving family, and good health, but if they don't have a fancy car, they might feel dissatisfied. This way of thinking doesn't bring happiness. It's better to focus on and be grateful for the good things you have. This mindset helps you feel more content and happy. So, try to focus on what you have, not on what you don't.
