Quote by Jean Anouilh
One cannot weep for the entire world, it is beyond human strength. One must choose.
Summary
This quote suggests that it is impossible for individuals to feel sorrow or empathy for every single problem or suffering in the world because it would overwhelm them. Instead, people have to make choices regarding where to direct their empathy and support. It implies that individuals should prioritize their efforts and focus on the issues that resonate with them the most or where they believe they can make the greatest impact, acknowledging their limitations in addressing all the suffering in the world.
