— Elie Wiesel

Simplified Meaning:
When you think about bad or sad things that happened in the past, it can make you feel hopeless and depressed. But remembering those tough times also gives you a reason to keep going and stay strong. For example, if someone faced bullying at school, remembering that pain might make them feel down. However, remembering can also motivate them to stop bullying and help others. This way, they turn their sadness into action to create a better future. So, thinking about past struggles can teach you to stand up, not just for yourself, but for others too, and make sure those bad things don’t happen again.
