Quote by Samuel Johnson
While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it.
Summary
This quote suggests that when in the midst of grief, any effort to distract oneself from the pain only becomes bothersome. It asserts that one should allow time to heal and process the grief before seeking enjoyment or diversion. Only after the grief has been fully experienced and processed will the ability to find amusement come naturally, helping to alleviate the lingering effects of sorrow.
