IdlierQuotes: 《中英》Happiness

Desires overwhelmed our minds, leading to never-ending materialistic pursues. However, it only quenches our cravings for a while but never satisfies it. Only by being contented with what you have, curbing the desire, and enjoy the happiness already within our grasp.

— Dickson Idlier



图片翻译词:幸福不是得到你想要的一切,而是享受你所拥有的一切。

—— 闲人·迪克森
