Unhappiness does not come from the way things are, but from the difference between how things are and how we think they should be

Summary

This quote suggests that unhappiness stems from a constant comparison between reality and our own expectations or desires. It highlights the idea that it is not the circumstances or situations in our lives that necessarily make us unhappy, but rather the discrepancy that exists between these realities and the vision of how we believe things should be. This discrepancy often leads to discontentment and dissatisfaction, emphasizing the importance of managing our expectations and focusing on acceptance and gratitude for what is, rather than clinging to unfulfilled ideals.
