When you have a wound in the future, be sure to cover it up well. Silence is the last joy of the unfortunate. Please do not reveal the traces of your pain to anyone. When a deer is injured, many flies will suck its blood. Similarly, when we suffer, curious people will suck out our tears.                                                                                                                         -----  From the “Three Musketeers” by Alexandre Dumas

The work emphasizes the importance of discretion and silence in dealing with personal wounds and suffering. It suggests that revealing one's pain to others may only attract unwanted attention and further discomfort. Instead, the author advises covering up emotional wounds and engaging in self-healing, as sharing them may invite more intrusion.
