About This Quote

Children cannot be sad too long, it is not in them, as children mourn in little bits here and there like patchwork in their lives. When you are a child, you can't really know about life. You can't know that you will get older and that you will get sick. You can't know that someone will leave you or that someone will die.

But, when you become an adult, there are many things to learn and understand. There are many things to feel bad about or to be sad about. And, if an adult is too sad for too long, it won't be good for the person's health.
