We learn that it is because of the sorrows that a man can love at all.
I wonder if it is a fine line as to how much is too much to bear. Is there a diminishing return on gathering sorrow? I feel there must be.

If we dwell too much on the losses, and not enough on the joys that came before them, we can become quite sour pussed. This character had succumbed to that. When he volunteered to lose the memories of the sorrows, he lost the memories of the joys as well, and turned from simple grief to unintentional evil.
