Simplified Meaning:

Good books and stories remain important and interesting even as time passes. Unlike everyday news, which people might forget quickly, literature continues to be meaningful and relevant. For example, many people still read and enjoy Shakespeare's plays written hundreds of years ago because they explore themes like love, power, and betrayal that are still true today. Reading great literature offers enduring lessons and insights about human nature and society that don't get old. People can apply this wisdom to understand current events better, solve personal problems, or simply enjoy a deep and thoughtful look into different lives and viewpoints.
