Simplified Meaning:
To get to where we want to go, we need to remember where we’ve been. Think about driving a car: if you forget how to drive or which roads you took, you won't reach your destination easily. In our lives, our memories of past experiences and lessons help guide our future choices. For example, if you touch a hot stove and burn your hand, you remember the pain and won't touch it again. Similarly, learning from history, such as past wars or mistakes, helps countries and people avoid making the same errors. By remembering what has worked and what hasn't, we can make smarter decisions moving forward. Remembering the past helps us build a better and safer future.
