Meaning
This reads as an ethical claim about happiness that comes at another person's expense. It can be taken to mean that real well-being cannot rest on harm, and that inner peace is tied to compassion rather than advantage. It lands when success feels uneasy, or when someone is tempted to excuse gain that leaves others worse off.
