Summary

This quote suggests that pain and suffering can often lead to thoughtful reflection and introspection, which in turn can lead to acquiring wisdom. By going through challenging experiences, individuals are forced to re-evaluate their perspectives, ideas, and beliefs, ultimately gaining insights and understanding. Wisdom, then, becomes a valuable tool for enduring the ups and downs of life, helping individuals navigate difficult situations and finding meaning in their experiences. It implies that without pain, one may never fully appreciate the value of wisdom or find solace in the face of life's trials.

I don't like your miserable lonely single front name. It is so limited, so meager; it has no versatility; it is weighted down with the sense of responsibility; it is worn threadbare with much use; it is as bad as having only one jacket and one hat; it is like having only one relation, one blood relation, in the world.
