Summary

This quote suggests that it is beneficial to have multiple sources or means of finding happiness in life.

It implies that relying on just one source of happiness can be limiting, and therefore, it is advantageous to explore and cultivate a wide range of experiences and connections that contribute to one's overall happiness.
