"La alegría solo puede ser real si las personas consideran su vida como un servicio y tienen un objetivo definido en la vida fuera de sí mismas y de su felicidad personal."
— Leo Tolstoy

Simplified Meaning:
True happiness comes when people see their life as a way to help others and have a clear goal that isn't just about their own enjoyment. Imagine a doctor who feels true joy by helping sick people get better. Their happiness comes not from what they get for themselves, but from making others feel good. If we focus only on our own happiness, it often leaves us feeling empty. But when we work towards something bigger than ourselves, like a community project or supporting a friend's dream, we find lasting joy and fulfillment. This approach brings deeper satisfaction because it's tied to making a positive difference in the world.
