如今，人们似乎暗示您应该谈论一切，甚至人们过去从未谈论过的事情，但是这是否使生活变得更加轻松？她不确定。实际上，她认为有时候谈论痛苦的事情只是使这些事情活着，而不是在谈论它们，将它们托运到过去，忘记它们，允许人们思考积极的事物更好。
(These days people seemed to suggest that you should talk about everything, even those things that people never talked about in the past, but did this make life any easier? She was not sure. In fact, she thought 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.)
