Signification
Pain fades over time.
Contexte culturel
In Norway, this phrase is often linked to the concept of 'tidsklemma' (the time squeeze), but in a reverse way—it reminds people to slow down and let nature take its course. Across Scandinavia, there is a shared stoicism. This proverb is a polite way to acknowledge someone's pain without prying too deeply into their private life. On Norwegian TikTok and Instagram, the phrase is often used with a bit of irony or 'aesthetic' melancholy. In older times, this was often seen as a religious sentiment, implying that God works through time to heal the faithful.
Use it sparingly
Because it is a cliché, it works best when you don't know what else to say.
Don't use for fresh trauma
If someone just lost a loved one today, this might feel too dismissive.
