"Les seules tristesses qui sont dangereuses et malsaines sont celles que nous traînons en public pour les noyer dans le bruit."
— Rainer Maria Rilke

Simplified Meaning:
When people feel sad and try to hide their feelings by constantly being busy or surrounded by noise, it can be harmful. For example, imagine someone is very upset about a breakup. Instead of taking time to understand and heal from the sadness, they go to parties every night to avoid feeling alone. This doesn't really help them get better; it just covers up the problem. It's healthier to acknowledge and deal with sadness quietly in private or with close friends rather than trying to ignore it by staying constantly distracted. Dealing with emotions in a healthy way can lead to real healing and happiness.
