Summary

This quote metaphorically suggests that laughter acts as a purifying and refreshing experience, similar to a dry cleaning process that removes dirt and stains from clothes. On the other hand, crying is seen as a form of emotional release, comparable to a wet wash that symbolizes cleansing through the flow of tears. Both laughter and crying are portrayed as necessary for emotional well-being and offer a contrasting yet equally important way to cleanse and renew oneself.
