The art of being happy is being content with what you have.

I think that is obvious with the rich and famous. They have what most of us long for but among them are some of the most unhappy people on the planet.

How does that work for poor people struggling to make things better for their children?

Do you honestly think a poor person can't be happy? Money does not bring happiness.

IMO platitudes are usually baloney.

Boy, did you ever miss the point.  I can't believe I have to explain the obvious.

It points out that you don't tell poor people to chill out and be content with what they have when they are working hard to make things better for their family.

In other words, the platitude is, like I said, baloney.
