Don't we all love to look at the sky? Don't we like to imagine what each cloud looks like as a kid? Don't we still look at the sky when we are sad? Don't...
Yes, most of us will unconsciously look at the sky, or rather at the clouds when we feel depressed. The clouds seem to offer a warm comfort for all, young and old.
As Merlin, the legendary fictional wizard once said...
"The best thing for being sad,” replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, “is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.”
(From T.H. White, The Once and Future King)

So, what do you think?
What is the meaning of what Merlin said? ...to learn something...
