I think this quote is referring to the belief that many people are living their lives unhappily but continue to go on and do what they need to. This relate to an earlier blog about tradition and habit. Many people do the same thing everyday and go through life without realizing they have control over the way their life unfolds. If your not happy you should change something to live your life in a more happy, healthy way. However many people live their life in this sense of desperation, or loss of hope. They don’t believe that they can change so instead they live their lives in desperation and boredom. Causing even more unhappiness.
