Simplified Meaning:

Getting things you want, like a new phone or a car, is often simpler than deciding to live without them. For most people, working hard, saving up money, and buying items they desire can be challenging, but it's a clear and straightforward process. On the other hand, choosing to give up these desires altogether requires a lot more inner strength and self-control. It's hard to resist the temptation of wanting more when society constantly tells us we need these things to be happy. Imagine a person who decides to buy a new, expensive gadget just because it's the latest trend. They might have to work extra hours to afford it, but eventually, they get it. Now think about someone who chooses not to buy that gadget, even though they really want it, because they want to save money or focus on more meaningful experiences. This second person has a tougher task because they have to fight against their own wishes and the influence of the culture around them. In life, learning to let go of our desires can bring a deeper sense of peace and contentment. Instead of always chasing the next big thing, we learn to appreciate what we already have. By doing this, people can lead simpler, more fulfilling lives. This approach helps reduce stress and makes it easier to find happiness in small, everyday moments.
