“Sorrow is a fruit. God does not make it grow on limbs too weak to bear it.”

Victor Hugo

Simplified Meaning:

Everyone faces sadness or tough times at some point. This idea is saying that when you experience sorrow, you are strong enough to handle it. Imagine a tree with fruits; if the branches are too weak, the fruit would break them. So, the tree only grows the fruit when it has strong enough branches to hold it. In the same way, life will not give you challenges that you can't deal with. For example, think about a student who fails an important test. It feels miserable and heavy, but it also means that the student has the ability to learn from this failure and improve. Just like the tree can hold the fruit, the student can handle the sorrow and use it to grow stronger. So, when you face something difficult, remember that you have the inner strength to get through it. You can apply this to your life by staying hopeful and knowing that you can cope with whatever comes your way. This mindset helps you stay resilient and not give up when things get tough.
