Quote by Alain de Botton
You normally have to be bashed about a bit by life to see the point of daffodils, sunsets and uneventful nice days.
Summary
This quote suggests that sometimes, it takes going through difficult experiences in life to truly appreciate and value the simple, beautiful moments. It implies that until we go through hardships or challenges, we may not fully understand the importance of things like daffodils, sunsets, or uneventful pleasant days. These "bashes" or rough patches can deepen our gratitude and perspective, enabling us to find joy and meaning in the ordinary and the magical aspects of life that may have gone unnoticed before.
