"I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them"
John Stuart Mill, argues that true happiness is achieved by managing and reducing personal desires rather than constantly trying to satisfy them. It highlights that chasing endless wants causes dissatisfaction, whereas simplifying needs leads to lasting contentment.
Context: Similar to the idea that "the secret of happiness... is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less" (often attributed to Socrates).
