You can't understand happiness without understand sadness.

It's explaining the importance of opposites.

The quote is erroneous. Why would one protect themselves from happiness? How would one protect themselves from sadness?

Whoever said this, hopefully isn't in any position of any power.

It means that you're not quite drunk enough. You have to go from being able to taste food, to not tasting it to coming full-circle and tasting it again...just really inaccurately, so that you think you're eating foam or something.

If you never put yourself out there enough to experience sadness, then you'll never come across happiness.


Note: that sounded a lot better in my head
