"La mayoría de los lujos y muchas de las llamadas comodidades de la vida no solo no son indispensables sino obstáculos positivos para la elevación de la humanidad"
— Henry David Thoreau

Simplified Meaning:
Many things we think are necessary or that make life comfortable are actually not needed and can even hold us back from improving ourselves. For example, having the latest smartphone or a fancy car might seem important, but they can distract us from spending time with family, learning new skills, or helping others. People often believe that more money and possessions will make them happier, but sometimes these things create more stress and less freedom. Instead of focusing on material things, it’s better to focus on relationships, personal growth, and meaningful experiences. By simplifying our lives and avoiding unnecessary luxuries, we can find more true happiness and make better choices for ourselves and society.
