About This Quote
It is never easy to hear the sound of happy children. When you are in a bad mood, you can easily find yourself escaping through the closed door of your room. The more you try to shut out their cheerful voices, the louder they become. If their happiness is actually grating on your ears, it may be because you are so unhappy that you cannot tolerate them. Compared to them, you look down on them and see them as inferior.
