"لا نستطيع أن نشهد على من كنا قد نصبح إذا لم يشكلنا الصدمة بهذه الطريقة"

Simplified Meaning:

Our past experiences, especially the tough ones, shape who we are. Imagine a person who went through a lot of challenges growing up, like losing a loved one or facing bullying. These experiences leave a mark, making them different from who they might have become if life had been easier. Just like how scars change the look of our skin, difficult moments change our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Because of this, we can never really know what life would be like if those tough times hadn't happened. It's like wondering what kind of tree a plant would grow into if a storm hadn't bent it. To cope with this, it's helpful to focus on making the best out of who we are now and use these experiences to grow stronger.
