Sadness is also a kind of defence.

Summary

This quote suggests that sadness can act as a protective mechanism. When we experience sadness, it can serve as a shield or barrier, helping us distance ourselves from potentially difficult or overwhelming situations. It allows us to withdraw emotionally and retreat, enabling us to process our emotions and find solace in our sadness. By embracing sadness, we can create a protective space for ourselves, allowing time for healing and self-reflection.
