Everyday he saves us." true, the grief wears off, perhaps sooner than we expect, the feeling is transitory, while the forgetting is permanent. But if we pause for an instant, we can see that it is the pain that is real, and not the oblivion. Separation and death remind man clearly from time to time that grief is terribly true. They make us aware that we can remain untroubled only by remaining ignorant; that anxiety and grief are the world`s true realities. No one lives in, nothing survives- so stark is this truth that we humans suppress our realisation of it, along with our grief- and if and when we do call it to mind, it deeply perplexes us that not only do ourselves not live on, neither do we live on the minds of others."
(Letters from Rabindranath.)
