"快適な人を苦しめて困窮している人を慰めることはできません"

Simplified Meaning:
You can't make someone who is suffering feel better by causing discomfort to those who are currently happy and at ease. Imagine a situation where a person is sad and you want to cheer them up by making another happy person feel bad. This doesn't help anyone in the long run. Helping someone who is hurting means offering support, kindness, and understanding, not creating more harm. For instance, if a friend is upset, it's better to listen to them and show empathy rather than trying to fix the problem by making others feel guilty about their happiness. So, to truly help someone in distress, focus on positive and supportive actions instead of bringing others down.
