Simplified Meaning:
When something bad happens, it can take a really long time to fix it. Imagine breaking a precious vase in your home. It breaks quickly, but putting all the pieces back together perfectly can be almost impossible and can take a lot of time. This idea can also apply to relationships and trust. If you hurt a friend deeply by betraying their trust, it may take many years to rebuild that friendship and trust, if it can be rebuilt at all. So, it is important to think carefully about our actions because fixing mistakes can be a slow and difficult process. In life, being cautious and kind can prevent a lot of these long-term problems.
