Simplified Meaning:

This quote means that someone cares more about their own comfort and routine than about bigger problems happening around them. It suggests ignoring the chaos or troubles in the world as long as they have their own small pleasures. For example, imagine there's a lot of bad news on TV, like natural disasters, political fights, or economic issues. Instead of getting worried or trying to help, this person chooses to relax with a cup of tea. This attitude can be selfish, as it shows they don't care about others' suffering. However, sometimes it can be seen as taking a break to not get overwhelmed by problems they can't control. If you apply this idea to your own life, you might focus on keeping calm and enjoying small moments, even when things around you are tough. But it's also important to not ignore big issues completely and try to help when you can.
