Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 69

What is night for all beings is the time of waking for the self-controlled, and what is waking for all beings is night for the sage who sees.

What most people call a good life, the wise sometimes see as exactly backwards.

Krishna flips the usual picture here. What the world treats as the obvious goal, chasing sensory pleasure, looks like darkness to someone who's actually looked closely, while the quiet inward work most people overlook is where the real clarity lives.
