— Democritus

Simplified Meaning:
If you don't want too much, even small things can make you very happy. Think about how a child can become excited over a simple toy or a piece of candy. They don't need much to feel joy. Similarly, if you appreciate and value whatever you have, no matter how small, you will feel content. For instance, during hard times in history, people were grateful for having enough food to eat even if it wasn't a feast. Not wanting too many things can make life simpler and make you happier with what you do have. By keeping your desires in check, you can find satisfaction in everyday moments and simple pleasures.
