Summary

This quote suggests that people often choose to remain in a state of misery because it offers them a sense of certainty, rather than taking the risk of pursuing happiness.

Whether due to fear of change, past disappointments, or fear of the unknown, people may resist the pursuit of happiness in favor of the certainty provided by their misery.
