Quote by Paulo Coelho
Oddly enough I never used to suffer from depression on cold, gray, cloudy days like this. I feel as if nature is in harmony with me, that it reflected my soul. On the other hand, when the sun appeared, the children would come out to play in the streets, and everyone was happy that it was such a lovely day, and then I would feel terrible, as if that display of exuberance in which i could not participate was somehow unfair.
Summary
This quote reflects the personal experience of finding solace and a sense of harmony on cold, gray, and cloudy days. The individual perceives a reflection of their own emotions in the gloomy weather, alleviating their depression. However, the arrival of sunny weather and the joy it brings to others exacerbates their feelings of exclusion and unfairness, as they are unable to partake in the same exuberance. It underscores how external factors, such as weather and societal disposition, can significantly impact one's emotional state.
