This quote implies that happiness is often dependent on fulfilling desires and acquiring things that individuals strongly desire. It suggests that true happiness cannot be sustained solely on its own merits but relies on satisfying wants and needs. In this perspective, the attainment of happiness is seen as fragile, as it is built upon one's desires rather than being an inherent and self-sustaining state.
