“The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before That's the deal”
— C. S. Lewis

Simplified Meaning:
When you feel sad because something good is gone, it means that good thing made you happy before. This is a part of life—happy times and sad times come together. For example, imagine you had a favorite pet that you loved very much, and it passed away. You feel really sad now because you miss the fun times you shared. But the reason you feel this sadness is that you had so much joy and love with your pet before. This saying reminds us to cherish happy moments, even though they might make us feel pain later when they're gone. It helps us appreciate good times more, knowing that the feelings of loss are a part of having something wonderful in the first place.
