“Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.”

Simplified Meaning:

In life, people often see their experience as either truly terrible or just unpleasant. Think about a time when you were very sick; that would be a horrible experience because you felt really terrible and couldn't enjoy anything. On the other hand, a day when everything goes wrong, like spilling coffee on your clothes or missing the bus, is miserable because it’s frustrating but not as bad as being very sick. Take, for example, someone stuck in traffic after a long day at work. They might feel miserable because they are tired, hungry, and just want to get home. But if that person got into a car accident instead, their situation would become horrible. This quote reminds us that life has many struggles, but we can often choose how we see our problems. When someone feels miserable, they can remember it’s not as bad as someone else's horrible situation. By doing this, people can find a bit of comfort and strength to get through their own tough times.
