Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.

Summary

This quote suggests that dwelling on past moments of happiness can hinder one's ability to experience it in the present. Remembering past happiness may create a sense of longing or nostalgia that stands in the way of embracing current moments of joy. By constantly comparing one's present situation to past happy memories, one may become dissatisfied with their current state of happiness. To truly find happiness, it is important to let go of the memories of past happiness and wholeheartedly embrace the present moment.
