"In the absence of bread, good are cakes".But, the original sentence comes from the French Revolution, when a king said: "If they haven´t got any bread, let them eat cake", when the population complained they had no bread to eat.Anyway, the interpretation is that "Although we do not get what we were looking for, if we achieve something that replace it well, we have to make us happy".My own comment: Useing, as an example, the draw that you can see upstairs, if you wish to get a car more expensive, nicer and eye-catching, it is possible that you are baseing your happyness on material things.Howevwr, if you satisfy yourself with another cheapper but sure car, then you can manage another more important values, like: humility, solidarity, generosity and other ones.So, you will be an stronger person and you will feel really happy yourself.
