Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who always try to be strong and suppress their emotions find it difficult to experience genuine happiness and joy. By constantly keeping a "stiff upper lip," which refers to maintaining a composed and stoic exterior, they may struggle to express their true feelings and connect with the lighter side of life. It emphasizes the importance of being vulnerable and allowing oneself to experience and express a range of emotions instead of constantly hiding behind a faÃ§ade of strength.
