"Plus le chagrin creuse profondément en vous, plus vous pouvez contenir de joie."
— Khalil Gibran
Simplified Meaning:
When we go through really tough times and feel deep sadness, it makes room in our hearts to feel even more happiness later on. Imagine a tree: the deeper its roots dig into the ground, the stronger it becomes and the more it can grow. Just like that, experiencing sorrow helps us appreciate good moments more. For example, if you've ever worked really hard for something and faced many challenges, the joy you feel when you finally succeed is so much greater because of what you went through. This means that enduring hard times can make the good times even better. So, when you're feeling sad, remember that it's making you stronger and creating space for future happiness.
