"今感じる痛みは以前にあった幸せです。"
— C. S. Lewis
Simplified Meaning:
When you feel sad now, it's because you were once happy. Think of it like this: When you lose something important to you, like a favorite toy or a close friend, you feel hurt. That hurt is because you loved that toy or enjoyed spending time with that friend so much. The happiness you once felt makes the sadness now stronger. So, if you didn't care about something before, it wouldn't hurt as much to lose it. This can help you remember that the pain means you had something really good in your life. It teaches us to appreciate our happy moments even more, because they bring meaning to our lives, even if they also bring a bit of sadness sometimes.
