When the Happy Prince was alive, he could not see the misery of people because he was never out of his palace and was happy throughout his life. He lived a comfortable life inside the palace and never saw the misery and ugliness of the people around him. Being a Prince, he never knew about the sorrows and sufferings of the people.

He sacrificed everything for the good of others. It shows that he was kind and compassionate for others and helpful to the suffering society.
