theoretically, what's a really sad situation

One example of a sad situation is an extremely impoverished family trying their best to survive. They struggle with unemployment or low-paying jobs, insufficient access to education and healthcare, and lack of basic necessities like food and shelter. This cycle of poverty may extend through generations, with limited opportunities for improvement. The sadness lies in the potential unrealized, the constant struggle, and the feeling of hopelessness that can pervade such situations.
