“It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness”
— Marcus Tullius Cicero

Simplified Meaning:
When a person is really sad or upset, sometimes they might feel like doing dramatic things to show their pain, such as tearing their hair out. But doing something extreme like this doesn’t actually help lessen the sadness. It’s a bit like breaking your phone when you're frustrated with it. Breaking the phone won’t fix the problem and will only make things worse. In the same way, hurting yourself because you're upset doesn’t solve anything and can make your situation even harder to deal with. Instead, it’s better to find more calming and constructive ways to deal with your feelings, such as talking to a friend or taking a walk to clear your mind. This helps you process your emotions without adding more harm to yourself.
