Summary

This quote suggests that each person experiences their own unique form of suffering or misery. For someone who has never been married, being alone may be their personal torment or hell. On the other hand, another person who is married may view their marital situation as a source of constant hardship or plague. Ultimately, the quote illustrates that pain and hardship can manifest in different ways for each individual, and what may be burdensome for one person may be entirely different for another.
