Meaning:

Happiness can be found in the simplest things and in the simplest way.

Finding joy in every moment matters more than seeking for the joy that is not forth coming. The imagery of African children joyfully taking baths with cups of water illustrates the simplicity and happiness found in everyday moment. Despite limited resources, the children find joy, emphasizing the richness of their experiences beyond material wealth. This scene reflects the contentment and appreciation for the small pleasures in life within their community.

The Vegetation indicates hope for tomorrow; the grasses are greenish which indicates life. It is every man’s dream to have a blossoming and fulfilling life. The African man, despite living in a harsh environment where dreams die before they bloom, remains hopeful for the future while being content with his daily victories, however small they may be.

This painting is a poignant reminder that true wealth can be measured in moment of happiness and connection rather than with material possession. This illustrates the African man who needs to find happiness in little things, happiness and hope for the future and to gain peace of mind.
