Simplified Meaning:

When you stop thinking about your own problems and worries, you can feel true happiness. Imagine you're at a party and instead of being nervous about what people think of you, you focus on having fun, dancing, and talking to others. You enjoy the moment more because you’re not worried about yourself. Another example is when you're helping a friend move to a new house. You're so busy carrying boxes and organizing things that you don't have time to think about your own stress. By focusing on others or activities, you let go of your own concerns and feel more joyful. This idea shows that sometimes, the key to happiness is to shift your attention away from yourself and your own issues. By doing so, you can experience life more deeply and feel content.
