Summary

This quote suggests that people often find it easy to offer guidance and advice to those who are experiencing difficulty or hardship, particularly when they themselves are in a position of prosperity or success. In such circumstances, one's perspective and mindset can be different, making it easier to offer solutions to others' problems. However, this quote also implies that genuinely understanding and empathizing with the challenges faced by others requires more than just armchair advice-giving, as true empathy comes from personal experience and shared suffering.
