He suggests that true happiness is not found in the pursuit of enjoyment, however rather in the avoidance of discomfort and suffering. He recommends that by avoiding miseries, we can find real happiness. This idea is supported by the truth that much of the happiest individuals worldwide are those who have actually experienced one of the most pain and suffering. They have actually found out to value the small minutes of delight and contentment that come from avoiding miseries. Karr's quote encourages us to focus on the positive aspects of life and to be grateful for the miseries that we have actually prevented.
