在某些情况下，谈论令人痛苦的事情只是使这些事情活着，而不是谈论它们，而是将它们委托给过去，忘记它们，允许人们思考积极的事物，使世界变得更好。
(there were occasions on which talking about distressing things merely kept those things alive, whereas not talking about them, consigning them to the past, forgetting them, allowed one to think about things that were positive, things that made the world a bit better.)
