Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.

Summary

This quote highlights the fact that material comforts alone cannot guarantee true happiness. It suggests that external circumstances, no matter how pleasant, cannot shield individuals from the inherent suffering and hardships that life can bring. Even if someone enjoys a comfortable life with their basic needs met and surrounded by loved ones, the occurrence of a tragic event can significantly impact their emotional well-being. Happiness, therefore, seems to be influenced not only by external conditions but also by one's ability to navigate and cope with difficult situations.
