Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes people feel more than one emotion at the same time, and this can be confusing. For instance, imagine someone just graduated from college. They feel happy because they've achieved something important, but at the same time, they're sad because they're leaving their friends and the life they knew behind. It's like mixing two different colors; you get a new one, but you still see traces of the original colors. In daily life, you can experience joy and sorrow together for many reasons. Maybe you got a new job, but it requires moving to a new city, away from family. While you're excited about the new opportunity, you're also sad about leaving loved ones. Understanding that mixed emotions are normal can help you navigate such situations. It's okay to feel both happy and sad, and recognizing this can make it easier to deal with and accept these complex feelings.
