Summary

This quote suggests that having more company or companionship in our lives can bring us joy and happiness. Surrounding ourselves with people we enjoy can enhance our positive experiences and make us feel content. However, it also highlights that the presence of others may not necessarily alleviate or lessen our feelings of sadness or pain. While having company can provide comfort and support, it does not guarantee a reduction in our misery. Ultimately, this quote emphasizes that while social connections can enrich our lives, they may not be the sole solution to our emotional struggles.
