“If I drop my pain in the river, the fish will bring it to the surface again”

Simplified Meaning:

When we try to hide or ignore our problems and feelings, they don't really go away. Imagine you have a problem that makes you sad, like a fight with a friend. You might think that by not talking about it and pushing the sadness away, you can forget about it. However, just like a river that might carry a heavy object but eventually bring it back up to the top, these feelings and problems will come back. It's like if you throw a stone into water – it sinks, but one day it'll roll back to the shore. If you don’t deal with your sadness or talk about it, that sadness will show up again later in other parts of your life. It can affect how you treat other friends or how you feel inside. Taking care of your feelings and addressing your problems head-on is important. If you talk to your friend about the fight, you might solve the issue quicker and feel better. Facing your emotions instead of hiding them helps you live a happier, more balanced life.
