"If you suppress grief too much, it can well redouble"

- Moliere

About this Quote

This quote by Moliere is a cautioning about the threats of reducing sorrow. He is suggesting that if we try to overlook or press away our sensations of grief, it can have an unfavorable result and trigger our sorrow to end up being even more powerful. This is because when we attempt to suppress our feelings, we are not permitting ourselves to process them in a healthy way. Rather, we are bottling them up and not permitting ourselves to express them. This can lead to an accumulation of emotions that can end up being frustrating and cause us to feel a lot more sorrow than we would have if we had allowed ourselves to reveal it in the first location. For that reason, it is very important to enable ourselves to feel our emotions and to express them in a healthy way. This will help us to process our sorrow in a more positive manner and avoid it from ending up being too frustrating.
