"Souviens-toi de moi et souris car il vaut mieux oublier"
— Dr. Seuss
Simplified Meaning:
When we think of someone and smile, it brings happiness. It's much nicer to remember the good times we had with someone and feel joy rather than trying to forget everything about them. If we forget, we lose all the good memories too, which can be sad. For example, imagine a friend moves away to another country. Instead of feeling down about them being gone, think of the fun times you had together. This way, the memories make you happy instead of feeling empty from trying to push them away. By focusing on the positive memories, we keep a part of the person with us in a cheerful way.
