Question

In your own words, describe the different methods used by a daughter and her mother to combat melancholy?

The advice of mother gives against melancholy is:

"Think about all the distress in the world and be happy not to know it."

the daughter advice is:

" Get out, go to the fields, to nature and to the sun, get out and try to find happiness in you; think of all the beauty that grows in you and around you and be happy! ”​

Answer 1

mother: Acknowledge that suffering and happiness co- exist in the world.To combat melancholy, one must find solace in the fact that you do not live in distress,as one might in a war-torn country.

daughter:By becoming ignorant to the distress surrounding you, you can find hope and happiness in the world.
