Fortunately or unfortunately, however one looks at it?
Hello everybody.
I am reading Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
My dear lady, I cannot explain it to myself
in any other way,’ said the manager; ‘I hope it is nothing se-
rious. On the other hand, I must also say that we business
people, luckily or unluckily, however one looks at it, very
often simply have to overcome a slight indisposition for
business reasons.’
Would you please tell me what the bold part means?
Thanks ??

People employed in the business world when they fall ill have to carry on despite their illness for the sake of business. This can be considered a good thing for the sick person in that he does not allow his illness to incapacitate him. Bur it could be thought of as bad because he does not get to treat his illness and convalesce.
