"It is better to drink water in joy than honey in sorrow."

This is a Russian folk proverb which means that it is better to be poor, but happy and in good company, than rich, but in grief, melancholy and loneliness.

The real value is joy, friendship, peace of mind, and not material wealth when the soul suffers.

The proverb emphasizes the main point: wealth does not save you from misery, and poverty does not prevent you from being happy.

Leave 👍🏻 if you agree: happiness is not in money, but in who and how you live.
