Meaning
This reads as a choice between a painful form of productivity and a more humane kind of life. It suggests that experience can be turned into art, but not every worthwhile thing is worth the cost of being unhappy. It lands when someone is weighing achievement against wellbeing, and admitting that success is not the same as a good life.
