"欲しいものがすべてないということは幸せの不可欠な部分です"
— Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:
True happiness involves not always getting everything you desire. Imagine constantly wanting new toys. If you always received every toy you wished for, they might soon lose their value, and the joy of receiving them would fade. Similarly, in life, having some unfulfilled desires can make us appreciate what we do have much more. For instance, when you work hard and save up for something special, the joy and satisfaction of finally getting it are greater than if it were just handed to you. Also, experiencing the absence of certain wants encourages us to find joy in simpler things and to be grateful for what we have. This approach helps develop a deeper, more lasting sense of contentment and appreciation in life.
