Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

A tear dries quickly when it is shed for troubles of others.

A tear dries quickly when it is shed for troubles of others.

Summary

This quote suggests that when we shed tears and feel pain for the troubles that others are going through, our own sorrows quickly fade away. It implies that selflessly empathizing with others helps us gain perspective and recognize that our own problems may not be as significant as we initially believed. By shedding tears for others, we not only alleviate our own suffering but also feel a sense of relief and unity by connecting with others in their struggles.

Our true history is scarcely ever deciphered by others. The chief part of the drama is a monologue, or rather an intimate debate between God, our conscience, and ourselves. Tears, grieves, depressions, disappointments, irritations, good and evil thoughts, decisions, uncertainties, deliberations --all these belong to our secret, and are almost all incommunicable and intransmissible, even when we try to speak of them, and even when we write them down.
