“The tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep, somewhere else another stops.”
— Samuel Beckett

Simplified Meaning:
People everywhere experience sadness and happiness, but the amount of sorrow and joy in the world remains balanced. When one person starts to cry because they're sad, another person somewhere else finds a reason to smile and stops crying. Imagine a child who loses their favorite toy and feels heartbroken. At the same time, another child might find a new friend and feel overjoyed. This tells us that life's ups and downs are shared around the world. If you're feeling sad today, remember that soon happiness will come your way, just as it does for others. It's a reminder to stay hopeful, knowing that difficult times are temporary and better days are ahead.
