"Si rascas el pasado, no sanará."
— Gary Oldman
Simplified Meaning:
Focusing too much on what has already happened can prevent you from moving forward. Imagine you have a scab from a minor cut. If you keep scratching it, the wound won't close properly and might even get infected. In the same way, if you constantly think about and dwell on past mistakes or painful memories, you stop yourself from healing emotionally. For example, someone who was betrayed by a friend might keep rethinking what happened and feeling hurt again and again. This constant focus stops them from making new friends or trusting people in the future. Instead, it's better to learn from past experiences and let them go, so you can grow and feel better. By doing this, you give yourself the chance to be happier and to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
