"برای غلبه بر اضطراب‌ها و افسردگی‌های زندگی معاصر، افراد باید به‌گونه‌ای مستقل از محیط اجتماعی شوند که دیگر صرفاً بر اساس پاداش‌ها و تنبیه‌های آن واکنش نشان ندهند"

Simplified Meaning:

This quote is saying that to feel better and handle the stress and sadness of modern life, people need to stop relying so much on what others think of them or on societal expectations. Instead of always trying to fit in, get approval, or follow the crowd, we should develop our own sense of self-worth and make decisions based on our own values and beliefs. For example, imagine someone who loves painting but works in a job they hate just because it pays well and impresses their friends or family. If they choose to focus on their passion for painting instead, they may find more happiness and meaning in life, even if they make less money or others don’t understand their choice. By doing what truly matters to us rather than what society rewards, we can live more fulfilling and authentic lives.
