Quote by Graham Greene

No human being can really understand another, and no one can arrange another's happiness.

No human being can really understand another, and no one can

Summary

This quote highlights the inherent difficulty in truly comprehending another person's thoughts, emotions, and experiences. It suggests that no matter how well one may think they understand another, there will always be limitations to comprehension due to the uniqueness of each individual's perspective. Furthermore, it emphasizes that it is not possible for one person to dictate or engineer another person's happiness. Each individual is ultimately responsible for their own happiness, as it is subjective and influenced by their own desires, beliefs, and circumstances.
