Summary
This quote suggests that a person's perceived punishment or difficult time was actually a period of anticipation or preparation for someone else's presence or arrival. It implies that the challenging experiences one went through were not a form of mistreatment, but rather a way for someone else to enter their life or fulfill a purpose. It highlights the notion that there may be a larger, meaningful context to the struggles one faces, suggesting that everything happens for a reason and serves a greater purpose in someone else's life.
