Summary

This quote suggests that happiness is not an external pursuit but something that already exists within oneself. The reference to the old woman finding her lost spectacles on her nose implies that people often overlook what is right in front of them. In the same way, happiness cannot be found by actively searching for it but is rather a state of mind that individuals can discover within themselves if they are willing to recognize and appreciate what they already have. True happiness lies in self-awareness and gratitude, rather than constantly striving for external gratification.
