If you have hitherto believed that life was one of the highest value and now see yourselves disappointed, do you at once have to reduce it to the lowest possible price?

Summary

This quote challenges the idea of solely valuing life based on disappointments or setbacks. It questions whether, upon experiencing disappointment, our perception of life should immediately diminish to a point where it holds little value. It implies that there is more to life than just the negative experiences, urging individuals to reconsider knee-jerk reactions and understand that setbacks do not necessarily define the true worth of life. It suggests that we should not undervalue or undermine the importance of life based on temporary disappointments.
