Simplified Meaning:
In today's world, people often feel like they need things that aren't truly important. For example, many people think they need the latest smartphone, expensive clothes, or luxury cars to be happy or successful. These items are not essential for basic living, like food or shelter, but society makes us believe they are. It’s like how some people go shopping not because they need something, but because it makes them feel good temporarily. If someone understands this, they can focus on what really matters, like spending time with loved ones, learning new things, or helping others. By recognizing what is truly important, a person can find more lasting happiness and satisfaction in life.
