This quote by Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton suggests that our happiness is not depending on our scenarios or the locations we go. Rather, it is located within a minimal variety of objects that are close to us. This implies that we need to not be looking for happiness in far-off areas or in material belongings, however rather in the people and points that are already in our lives. It suggests that true satisfaction is discovered in the tiny moments and also simple pleasures that are within our reach. This quote motivates us to value the appeal of the daily as well as to locate pleasure in the little things.
