The only way to avoid being miserable is not to have enough

Summary

This quote suggests that the key to avoiding misery is to stay busy and never have enough free time to question or evaluate our own happiness. By constantly keeping ourselves occupied, we distract ourselves from contemplating whether we are truly satisfied with our lives. It implies that the act of self-reflection and analyzing our happiness can sometimes lead to discontentment or unhappiness. Therefore, the quote proposes that a busy and constantly engaged lifestyle is a means to avoid these negative emotions.
