20 He looks at his food and sighs, like a castrated man hugging a young woman.

Ben Sira 30:20 In-Context

18 The finest food means nothing if you are too sick to eat it; it might as well be offered to an idol.

19 But there is no point in offering food to an idol; it can't eat it or smell it. It is just the same with someone whom the Lord has afflicted.

20 He looks at his food and sighs, like a castrated man hugging a young woman.

21 Don't deliberately torture yourself by giving in to depression.

22 Happiness makes for a long life and makes it worth living.
