"Vous avez tort si vous pensez que la joie émane uniquement ou principalement des relations humaines."
— Steven Pressfield
Simplified Meaning:
Joy can come from many places, not just from being with other people. Imagine a person who loves painting. Even when they are alone in their room, creating a beautiful picture, they feel truly happy. This happiness isn't coming from a friend or a family member, but from the act of doing something they love. Another example is someone who enjoys hiking in the mountains. The joy they feel while surrounded by nature, breathing in the fresh air, and seeing stunning views is not dependent on anyone else being there. So, even if our relationships can bring us happiness, there are many other sources of joy. People can find it in activities they enjoy, in nature, or in achieving their personal goals. It’s important to recognize these sources and embrace the joy they bring to our lives.
