"说一个人因为他对别人怀有善良的心而快乐和愉快是一个常见的错误。"

Thomas Hobbes

Simplified Meaning:

Just because someone seems happy and cheerful doesn't necessarily mean they are kind and caring toward others. For example, imagine a person at a party who is laughing and having a great time. He might appear joyous and friendly, but that doesn't automatically mean he treats people well or has good intentions. True kindness involves actions, not just appearances. A genuinely kind person might even be quiet or serious, yet they consistently help others and show compassion. So, it's important not to judge someone's kindness just by how happy they look.
