"我们为了排除悲伤而筑起的墙也阻挡了快乐"

Simplified Meaning:
When we try really hard to protect ourselves from feeling sad by shutting ourselves off, we also stop ourselves from feeling happy. Imagine you’re scared of getting hurt, so you never make friends or try new things. While you might avoid some pain, you also miss out on the fun and good times that friends bring. For example, if a child is so worried about losing a game that they never play with others, they won’t experience the excitement of winning or learning from losing. This means you should be open to all feelings because experiencing sadness helps you appreciate joy when it comes. It's part of what makes life full and meaningful. So, it's important to take a chance and embrace life’s ups and downs.
