"La paix vient de l'alignement avec notre vrai moi"
— Alain de Botton
Simplified Meaning:
Being at peace means feeling calm and content deep inside. To have this peace, you need to be true to who you really are. Imagine you love painting, but you work as an accountant because it's what others expect of you. Even if you earn good money, you might still feel upset or stressed because you're not doing what you love. Being true to yourself means knowing what makes you happy and what you're passionate about, and then making those things a part of your daily life. It's like a puzzle; when the pieces fit together correctly, everything feels right. If you ignore your true self, it's like forcing the wrong piece into a puzzle; it just doesn't work, and it makes you feel uneasy. So, to find real peace, listen to your inner voice and make choices that match who you really are.
