Quote by Yakov Smirnoff

We may have forgotten how to feel. Nobody is teaching us how to live happily ever after, as we've heard in fairy tales.

We may have forgotten how to feel. Nobody is teaching us how

Summary

This quote suggests that in modern society, there is a lack of emphasis or guidance on how to experience and express emotions. The reference to "living happily ever after" from fairy tales implies an idealistic notion of lasting happiness, which no one is teaching or showing us how to attain. It implies that societal pressures, distractions, and a focus on practicality may have disconnected us from fully experiencing and understanding our feelings to truly live satisfying and fulfilling lives.
