Quote by Christopher Dawson
You can give men food and leisure and amusements and good conditions of work, and still they will remain unsatisfied. You can deny them all these things, and they will not complain so long as they feel that they have something to die for.
Summary
This quote suggests that materialistic comforts and pleasures alone cannot ensure true contentment in individuals. Even if people are provided with basic needs, entertainment, and an ideal work environment, they may still feel a sense of dissatisfaction. However, when individuals have a strong belief or cause they deeply value, even significant deprivation or hardships may not lead to complaints or unhappiness. It highlights the importance of having a sense of purpose and something worth sacrificing or dedicating oneself to in order to find fulfillment and meaning in life.
