Summary

This quote suggests that true happiness cannot be found through deliberate and forceful pursuit. Instead, it likens the search for happiness to an old woman looking for her lost spectacles, only to realize that they had been right on her nose the entire time. The quote implies that happiness is not an external object to be obtained, but rather something that resides within oneself and can be uncovered by embracing one's own contentment and accepting the present moment.
