“Happiness does not really depend on objective conditions of wealth, health, or even community. Rather, it depends on the correlation between objective conditions and subjective expectations.”
— Yuval Noah Harari
Simplified Meaning:
Feeling happy comes from how our actual life situations match what we expect or hope for. It's not just about how rich, healthy, or socially connected we are. Instead, it's about whether our reality meets our personal hopes and wishes. If our lives align well with what we expect, we are happy.
