"Quand l'âme souffre trop elle développe un goût pour le malheur"
— Albert Camus
Simplified Meaning:
When someone goes through a lot of hard times, they might start to get used to bad things happening all the time. It’s like if you eat a certain food every day, you start to expect it and might even crave it, even if it doesn’t taste good. In real life, if someone experiences a lot of sadness or bad luck, they might start to feel like that's normal for them. This makes them almost expect or even find comfort in their own misery because it's what they know best. Think about a person who's had a lot of unfortunate events – they might stay in a bad situation because they’re more familiar with it than trying something new and hopeful. To avoid this, it's important to seek help and try to find ways to bring positive changes into life, even when it feels difficult.
