  I found your comment to be a lack of perspective in appreciating a humanistic and vague piece of prose, instead interpreting it as an engineer would: a problem to be solved, and not to be whined about in the meantime. There is no problem formulated here, I read no whining into this text, it's a very subjective observation of someone's life written in an artful style, it's not entirely happy or entirely sad, and it leaves you with more questions than answers. Accepting things that do not give you answers is a part of appreciating art, and if that's not of any interest to you then that's absolutely fine, but for your own sake I'd encourage you to be a bit more open minded about what the "purpose" of a work is rather than assume that your immediate and subjective opinion about it is beyond dispute.
