"التخلي يمنحنا الحرية، والحرية هي الشرط الوحيد للسعادة. إذا تمسكنا في قلوبنا بأي شيء، الغضب، القلق، أو الممتلكات، لا يمكننا أن نكون أحرارًا."
— Thich Nhat Hanh

Simplified Meaning:
Holding on to negative feelings or material things can prevent us from being truly happy. For example, if someone is always worried about money or angry about something that happened in the past, they can't feel relaxed and content. Imagine a person carrying a heavy backpack full of rocks; they would be too tired and burdened to enjoy a beautiful hike. In the same way, when we carry emotional burdens like anger or anxiety, we can't really enjoy life. To feel free and happy, we need to release these heavy emotions and not let them control us. This means forgiving others, easing our worries, and not getting too attached to things. By doing so, we create space for joy and peace in our lives.
