“Happiness is not the surplus of pleasant over unpleasant moments”
— Yuval Noah Harari
Simplified Meaning:
Being happy isn't just about having more good times than bad ones. Think about someone who loves to paint, even though it can be frustrating and difficult at times. They might feel joy from creating something beautiful, even when the process is challenging. Their happiness comes from doing something deeply meaningful to them, not just from feeling good all the time. In life, moments of struggle and hard work can bring a sense of fulfillment and purpose. To feel truly happy, it's important to find what gives your life meaning and joy, and not just focus on having fun all the time.
