paul: i think we grossly underestimate our sorrows, in general. we always die of sadness, actually.
alice: you mean sadness is put inside us at birth?
paul: yes.
alice: like eye color?
paul: exactly. that's why it needs our care, but others can do nothing. no one can do anything about eye color. also, i think it would be fair to let you take care of your sorrow alone.
