Summary

This quote reflects on the concept of finding solace or comfort in sadness or setbacks, particularly for those who are financially well-off. It suggests that someone with a comfortable income in a bustling city like London may see a broken heart as a trivial or even enjoyable matter, as they have the means to distract themselves or easily find distractions. It underlines the idea that wealth and privilege can sometimes shield individuals from the deep pain associated with heartbreak, making it a more manageable or trivial experience in comparison to those who may not have the same resources.
