"about suffering they were never wrong" the xplanation of things that are not positive. meaning, it is easy to concentrate on things that are negative. when a good experience is had, it is often forgotten and replaced by a memory or another experience that of which is negative.
when speaking of old master, being those that have lived for a time or a while. with more life experience comes better understanding, especially in things experienced in pain. the poem going on to describe the actions of others going on while such other things are left to suffer explains life in simple terms. "life goes on" i think that is how the saying goes? no matter the experience of life good or bad it remains that another would contiue the mundane things, such as "opening a window or walking dully along." life stops for no man, and though it may seem calast to continue life amidst turmoil and suffering humans drive on only separated by the emotions that make us "WE."

Curtis, I really like what you said about how we tend to remember negative experiences instead of positive. I agree with that, somewhat. Perhaps it is because we learn, or are supposed to learn from negative things. They make us or are said to make us stronger and better, to help us to gain knowledge and understanding. Perhaps that's why we remember them more often than not, and rarely give thanks for positive experiences because they are not remembered. But that may not always be the case. If we have a big life altering positive experience, I think we are more prone to remember it.
