Simplified Meaning:

Everyone makes mistakes or acts foolishly for a short time each day. It’s a normal part of being human. The important thing is to recognize those moments and try not to let them happen too often or last too long. For example, if someone gets upset and says something unkind to a friend, it's wise to quickly apologize and learn from the experience. Wisdom means understanding our errors and not letting them define us. By doing this, we grow and improve over time, making better choices and becoming more thoughtful individuals.
