Summary

This quote suggests that good people often have a more challenging time navigating life's difficulties and complexities. It implies that being ethical, moral, or virtuous can lead to a sense of disillusionment or futility, making it appear futile to continue living in a world where being good is not valued or rewarded. Thus, the quote proposes that good individuals may have shorter lifespans since they may face greater internal struggles or external hardships that eventually take their toll.
