“The busy bee has no time for sorrow”

William Blake

Simplified Meaning:

When someone stays busy with work or activities, they don't have time to feel sad or dwell on their problems. Imagine a worker bee constantly moving from flower to flower, collecting nectar and doing its job. Because it's so focused on its tasks, it doesn't have the chance to stop and feel upset. Similarly, if a person spends their day engaged in productive activities or hobbies, their mind stays occupied, and they are less likely to feel unhappy. For instance, when people volunteer or pick up a new hobby after a difficult time, they often find themselves feeling better. The key idea is that staying busy can help keep one's spirits up, providing a distraction from negative thoughts.
