“All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them.”
Isak Dinesen, quoted by KB. This is the purpose of nearly all culture, I think, and much of the occasional depression has to do with the unraveling of one’s story: when suddenly sorrows stand as isolated losses, catastrophes without transcendent contexts, instead of components of a meaningful narrative of overcoming.
