“The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again”
— Charles Dickens
Simplified Meaning:
When you have to say goodbye to someone you care about, it can be really sad and difficult. However, this sadness is temporary and will feel small compared to the happiness you will feel when you see that person again. For example, imagine a family where one of the parents has to go away for work for a few months. The kids and parent might feel very sad when they say goodbye at the airport. But this sadness becomes worth it when the parent comes back home because the reunion is full of hugs, laughter, and love. This teaches us that enduring the tough times of separation is manageable because we have the joyful reunion to look forward to. So, whenever we feel sad about saying goodbye, we can reassure ourselves by remembering how wonderful it will be to meet again.
