Summary

This quote suggests that sorrow and sadness come with deeper understanding and knowledge. The more we know and comprehend about life, the greater our capacity to experience grief and mourning. It emphasizes that knowledge and wisdom do not guarantee a happy and fulfilled life. It implies that the pursuit of knowledge may bring insight but does not necessarily bring joy or ultimate satisfaction in the same way that the pursuit of happiness or the tree of life might.
