“The aim of the work is to limit suffering and provide joy”
— Simone de Beauvoir

Simplified Meaning:
When people work, they should focus on reducing pain and increasing happiness for others. For example, a doctor’s job is to treat sick patients so they feel better and can enjoy their lives again. Teachers help students learn, which can make studying easier and help students feel proud and happy when they understand new things. Even a chef cooking a meal wants to make people happy by preparing delicious food, so they leave the restaurant satisfied. The idea is that any work we do should try to make life better for others, rather than causing stress or trouble. By aiming to help and bring joy, we not only make others' lives better but also feel good about our own contributions.
