"心の底から泣くことを知らない人は笑うことも知らない"
— Golda Meir
Simplified Meaning:
If someone doesn't fully allow themselves to feel sadness, they also won't fully experience joy. Think about it like this: to truly laugh and feel happiness, a person needs to be able to feel and express all their emotions, including the difficult ones like sorrow and pain. For example, a close friend might support you during a tough time. When you cry together, it strengthens your bond. Later, when something good happens, the laughter you share is deeper and more genuine because you've experienced both the highs and lows together. In this way, embracing your emotions completely makes the happy moments in life more meaningful and enjoyable. So, allowing yourself to cry with your whole heart can actually help you laugh more fully and appreciate the joys of life.
