"迟早在生活中,每个人都会发现完美的幸福是无法实现的,但很少有人停下来思考其对立面:完美的不幸同样是无法达到的。"
— Primo Levi
Simplified Meaning:
In life, everyone eventually realizes that it's impossible to be completely happy all the time. Imagine someone who thinks they'll be happy if they become rich. They might get rich but still have problems and worries, so they never feel perfectly happy. However, most people don't think about the opposite idea: just like perfect happiness isn't possible, being completely unhappy all the time isn't possible either. Even on bad days, small things like a nice chat with a friend or a beautiful sunset can bring moments of joy. If someone feels sad, remembering this can help them see the good parts of their life. By focusing on these small happy moments, they can make their overall feelings better, even when times are tough.
