Only time heals a fool from sorrow, and wisdom heals a wise man.
The quote "Only time heals a fool from sorrow, and wisdom heals a wise man" suggests that the approach to healing emotional pain differs based on one's understanding and experience. For a "fool," who may lack insight or maturity, the passage of time is the primary factor that alleviates their suffering; they may not learn from their experiences and instead rely on time to mend their wounds. In contrast, a "wise man" possesses the ability to reflect on his experiences, learn from them, and use that understanding to find healing and growth. Thus, the quote highlights the importance of wisdom in processing and overcoming sorrow, in addition to the inherent healing power of time.
