“You cannot figure out what happiness is, without taking some time to figure out what happiness is not”

Simplified Meaning:

To truly understand happiness, you also have to experience things that don't make you happy. For example, when eating different foods, you can better appreciate your favorite dish after trying some that you don't like. If you only ever ate one kind of food, you wouldn't know if it's truly your favorite. In life, going through tough times can help you better recognize and appreciate the moments of joy and contentment. By facing challenges, you learn what doesn't work for you or what doesn't bring you joy. This process helps you to value and focus on what truly makes you happy.
