Simplified Meaning:
Engaging in a meaningful and important job can sometimes make you feel a bit sad, even if the work itself is good and valuable. Imagine a doctor who loves helping people and finds their job very important. They might also feel sad sometimes because they see a lot of suffering and pain. Just like how a firefighter might feel honored to save lives but also feel sad remembering the lives they couldn't save. This feeling of sadness doesn't mean their work isn't important; it means they deeply care about what they do. People can apply this idea by understanding that feeling melancholic about their significant roles or jobs is natural and part of caring deeply about something worthwhile.
