Simplified Meaning:

When someone shows no emotion, especially sadness, it often means they are not truly understanding or connecting with what's happening around them. For example, imagine a close friend loses their pet. If you don't feel any sympathy or sadness for them, it might be because you're not fully aware of how much pain they're in. Seeing and feeling the emotions allows you to understand and support others better. When you let yourself feel sadness, it means you're paying attention to other people's experiences and caring about their feelings. This quote suggests that being able to show emotion, like crying, is part of really seeing and understanding the world and the people in it. Applying this advice to life means being more empathetic, understanding that showing feelings is a strength, and it helps build deeper connections with others.
