What is the theme of section 27 in In Memoriam A.H.H.?

      Section 27 in the poem In Memoriam says that Alfred does not envy those people who doesn't experience hardships in life, people who have their life according to their plans and needs, who always feels comfortable in life and never felt pain, etc because for him it has always been better to felt pain, sorrow, grief,hardships and problems  in life. Since without these trials in life, one will never know what happiness is when one doesnt felt pain and sadness, one will never know what comfort is when he doesnt met hardships, one will never feel grief and sorrow  when he had never lost a loved one.


      So in that perspective, Alfred concluded that " 'Tis better to love and lost than never to have loved at all"...


     one has to accept the experiences in life and learn from it for it will enable one to live life to the fullest...
