Summary

This quote suggests that happiness is not something that is inherently missing or lacking in our lives, but rather it is our own perception or awareness that prevents us from realizing its existence. It implies that happiness is always present in some form but it often goes unnoticed or unappreciated due to our own negativity, discontent, or lack of awareness. Therefore, the quote encourages introspection and a shift in mindset to recognize and embrace the happiness that surrounds us.
