Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, getting what we ask for can lead to more problems or sadness than not getting it at all. Imagine wishing for a high-paying job, but once you get it, you feel overwhelmed, stressed, and unhappy. This is like thinking a new toy will make you happy forever, but once you have it, you get bored or want something else. History shows this too, like when nations fight for land or power and realize too late that it leads to endless conflict and suffering. To put this wisdom to use, we should be careful and thoughtful about what we wish for, understanding it might not bring the happiness we expect. It’s important to appreciate what we have and consider the true impact of our desires before wanting more.
