Summary

This quote suggests that the people commonly labeled as "unfortunate" are often lacking wisdom or making unwise decisions that contribute to their unfavorable circumstances. By encouraging a closer examination, we may discover that many of their difficulties are self-inflicted rather than mere victimhood. It implies that personal choices and actions significantly shape our lives, and misfortune may arise from poor decision-making rather than external factors alone. This quote reminds us to consider the role of personal responsibility and wisdom in understanding the backgrounds of those we perceive as unfortunate.
