The person who grieves suffers his passion to grow upon him he indulges it, he loves it but this never happens in the case of actual pain, which no man ever willingly endured for any considerable time.

Summary

This quote suggests that when a person experiences grief, they tend to allow their sorrow to consume and intensify their emotions. They may even develop a fondness for this grief and become attached to it. However, this is not the case with physical pain because no individual willingly chooses to endure it for an extended period. In essence, it implies that people may have a peculiar relationship with grief, while physical pain is universally avoided or minimized.
