Is Freud right?

Ali quotes from Alain de Botton's book, Kiss and Tell, as follows

And even Freud, who one might have expected to cherish hopes for human understanding and communication, told an interviewer at the end of his life that he really had nothing to complain about:

‘I have lived over seventy years. I had enough to eat. I enjoyed many things. Once or twice I met a human being who almost understood me. What more can I ask?’

Can we ask more of this life? I just want to say no... and yes.
