We must investigate not only personal sorrow but also the sorrow of mankind.

Do we deal with the multiple expressions of sorrow or the very root? To do this it is important to observe without distortion.

Does the word ‘sorrow’ weigh man down? In understanding the cause of sorrow, does it disappear?
