"L'optimisme est la folie de prétendre que tout va bien quand nous sommes misérables"
— Voltaire
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people try to stay positive even when things are really bad. It's like pretending everything is fine when it’s not. For example, imagine someone who lost their job but keeps saying they're doing great. They're acting like there's no problem, hoping it will make them feel better. However, ignoring their issues won’t solve them. In real life, it’s important to face problems directly and work on fixing them, rather than just hoping everything will get better on its own. This way, they can truly improve their situation and not just pretend everything is okay.
