“Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.”
— Robert Frost
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you're eating a piece of your favorite cake. The cake might be small, but every bite tastes amazing and makes you feel really happy. This is like those moments in life that bring you great joy, even if they don't last very long. For example, think about spending time with a good friend. You might just hang out for an hour, but you laugh and have fun the whole time. That hour flies by, but it leaves you with wonderful memories and a big smile on your face. Happiness works like that. Even if it's not there all the time, those happy moments can make your life feel fuller and richer. Instead of worrying about how long the happy times last, enjoy how big and impactful they can make your life feel. So, when you're having a good time, focus on the joy you're feeling and appreciate it fully.
