The whole illusion of the material existence is that sometime you can be happy and the next second, you can be put into some miserable situation. Jeevana tala mala, kamala dala jala. Life is always in a turmoil situation. Just like a water drop on a lotus leaf, these leaves are waterproof. The water that's on the top of the lotus leaf just moves around, it skimmers on the top. Similarly, life is like that.
That doesn't mean we have to neglect and run away.
What it means is that we must be steady in the midst of all these problems and be fixed in Krishna and to know that material life is like that.
As mention in Bhagvada Gita chapter 2, verse 14 “the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed”
So we should be not get carried away by any happiness or distress which we get in our journey called life.
