"私たちの幸福への最大の脅威は、現在の瞬間を評価しないことにあります。"
— Alain de Botton
Simplified Meaning:
Many people feel unhappy because they spend too much time thinking about the past or worrying about the future instead of enjoying what’s happening right now. For example, imagine you’re at a beautiful beach, but instead of enjoying the sun and the waves, you’re thinking about a mistake you made at work last week or worrying about a meeting tomorrow. You miss out on the joy of the beach because your mind is somewhere else. To feel happier, try to focus on what you are doing at this moment. Notice the small things around you, like the taste of your favorite food, the sound of birds, or the smile of a friend. This way, you can fully experience and appreciate life as it happens, making the most of your time and finding more happiness in everyday moments.
