“We need joy as we need air" ”
— Charles Dickens

Simplified Meaning:
Just like how we need air to breathe and stay alive, we also need joy to feel happy and fully live our lives. Imagine if you were in a room with no fresh air — you’d feel tired, sick, and uneasy. In the same way, a life without joy can feel heavy and hard to endure. For example, children play games and laugh often because it brings them joy, and it makes their days brighter and more enjoyable. For adults, finding joy in simple things like a hobby, spending time with friends, or enjoying nature can make everyday life more meaningful and satisfying. To apply this idea, try to find what makes you happy and make time for it regularly, just as you make sure you have enough air to breathe.
