The man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unhappy but hardly fit for life.

Summary

This quote suggests that a person who sees no value or purpose in their own life, as well as in the lives of others, is not just unhappy, but also ill-equipped to navigate and engage with existence. It implies that having a sense of meaning, both for oneself and others, is integral to living a fulfilling and purposeful life. Without such meaning, one may struggle to find joy, purpose, and connection with others, potentially leading to disengagement from life itself.
