Understanding this quote
The quote suggests that tears are being overlooked because they do not match the expected image of sadness. “Blue” can represent sadness, while tears themselves are usually clear, so the comparison points to a gap between real pain and the signs people recognize. Something can be present and genuine yet remain unseen when it does not look the way others expect.
