I can't talk about it.


(just kidding)

Yes, it is true that when something hurts so much, sometimes a person just cannot talk about it until after an appropriate amount of time. Some things, like war, leaves scars on the human psyche that last for decades. My father had subjects and issues he lived with for half a century and NEVER could discuss openly.

True:
The deeper the sorrow,
... the less tongue it has.

I've never heard of that but will give you my 5 cents worth. If the heart is filled with sorrow, then yes, it is hard to be pastionate aboout anything (including kissing if thats what your'er referring to) However, the other side of the coin if that passion will soon replace sorrow if it is allowed to do so. That being the case, the use of the tongue may chase away sorow by replacing it with love in the heart. Hope this makes sense

I most definitely agree. I feel that by the very depth of the sorrow, it's transformed beyond the intellectual & simply cannot be verbalized. Speaking too long of a tragedy also has a way of compounding it by repeated validation.

It really depends on the individual, but generally I'd say it's true.

My aunt was definitely an exception to that rule when she broke down at the graveside of my uncle and wailed for him not to leave her... and I know such instances are not all that uncommon. And outside of losing a child, losing one's lifelong mate is perhaps the greatest sorrow one can bear. She was a quiet woman all her life, perhaps making it all the more moving for those assembled.

Peace

Yes, sorrow drains the energy even internally, allowing very little for the 'surge' required by the tongue.

I absolutely agree. When your heart is so heavy it literally aches and words catch in your throat. When you are caught between crying, talking, and laughing all at once.

Some burdens are too great to verbalize, at least in the moment they transpire. Moments when you feel insignificant, small, and helpless. Bewildered and frustrated.

I believe we have all been there. For some things there exist no words or at least not the appropriate sentiments.

How much greater must our faith be in these moments? In those moments, we truly discover how great our God is!

No. The most eloquent works of art spring from the strongest emotions, including profound sorrow.

Sorrow has a tendency to produce less words, misery never has enough of a voice.

If it ability that the human beings who're hurting the main have the least to assert approximately it, I completely agree. all of us bypass on and on approximately stubbing a toe, or somebody being impolite to us. while it includes a substantial, devastating sorrow like dropping a soul mate, or the death of a youngster, we tend to close down and mourn to ourselves. >

yes deeper the sorrow the harder it is to talk about,far to horrible to remember,so i find it is better to stay silent or talk less,because the raw emotion of the experience comes flooding back.you are correct and wise.
