Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life.

Seeing clearly has a cost. The more you understand about how things go, the more you can see what is being lost while it is still here, and that awareness does not lift. Knowledge is not a cure for sadness; often it is where the sadness comes from. That does not make understanding a mistake, only heavier than it is usually advertised to be.

If your own clear sight has been weighing on you, let it be a reason for tenderness rather than distance. Keep one part of your life you do not analyse, and stay close to someone who lightens you.
