Happiness is good health and a bad memory.

Meaning of the quote

This quote means that being happy depends more on feeling healthy and not remembering bad things that happened in the past, rather than having a perfect life. In other words, feeling good physically and not dwelling on negative experiences can make you happier, even if your life isn't perfect. The key to happiness is being positive and taking care of your body, not just trying to avoid problems.
