Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.

Summary

This quote suggests that life would be more bearable if it weren't for the distractions and trivialities that entertain and amuse us. It implies that these amusements, while providing momentary pleasure, may hinder us by diverting our attention from more important matters or preventing us from facing difficult realities. In other words, without these distractions, life would be simpler, more focused, and possibly less burdensome.
