Setbacks in life result in some form of emotional tension. As a result, you feel feelings of regret, grief, fury, and self-blame. You're surrounded with doubt. It's difficult to remain calm during difficult times.  I can speak from personal experience, including having my car stolen from me by someone I trusted, who I still can't find, losing a plot of land I bought due to litigation issues that surfaced after we had done our due diligence and purchased the land, Having my wife's cold store and provision shop shut down after all the money we invested in starting the business. The store was closed as a result of a problem with the premises we rented from the landlord, who failed to disclose the problem to us, and a whole lot more.
