"Être heureux n'est pas le seul bonheur"

Simplified Meaning:
Happiness doesn't only come from feeling joyful all the time. Sometimes, happiness means finding meaning in life, doing things that matter, or helping others. For example, a parent might not feel happy when tired from taking care of their baby, but they feel a deep sense of love and purpose, which is another kind of happiness. Similarly, a person volunteering at an animal shelter might feel sad seeing neglected animals, but they also feel fulfilled by making a difference, which brings a deeper happiness. This means that even in tough times, we can find a kind of happiness through meaningful actions and connections. It's about understanding that true happiness includes a range of feelings and experiences, not just constant joy.
