Meaning
This suggests that real happiness is not fragile, but able to absorb hardship without collapsing into bitterness. The line can be read as a spiritual or stoic idea, where difficulty becomes part of a larger gratitude rather than a reason to despair. It lands in a moment of loss, when someone is trying to make peace with what hurt them without denying it.
