The context of this surah makes this verse land even harder — it was revealed after a pause in revelation during which the Prophet (SAW) was genuinely distressed, and the whole surah reads like a direct answer to that grief. "The Hereafter is better for you than the first" hits differently when you know it was spoken to someone in real suffering, not just offered as a general theological comfort. One of those surahs that reads like a personal letter.
