Occupation - pressing occupation that will not be said nay - is a sovereign remedy for grief.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our culture has become increasingly intolerant of that acute sorrow, that intense mental anguish and deep remorse which may be defined as grief. We want to medicate such sorrow away.
Excess of grief for the dead is madness; for it is an injury to the living, and the dead know it not.
Someone who is about to die does not mourn the dead.
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
Grief can take care if itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
Action is the antidote to despair.
Acknowledgment of grief - well, it makes feeling the grief easier, not harder.
If you suppress grief too much, it can well redouble.
Where grief is fresh, any attempt to divert it only irritates.
The only cure for grief is action.
