“Even the very wise cannot see all ends”

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, even the smartest people can’t predict everything that will happen in the future. No matter how much experience or knowledge someone has, they can't foresee every possible outcome or result. For example, a doctor may give the best advice for a patient’s health based on their expertise, but unexpected things can still occur. This reminds us to stay humble and open-minded because nobody has all the answers. It also suggests being prepared for surprises and uncertainties in life, understanding that not everything will go as planned. Finally, when making decisions, it’s important to know that some things are out of our control, and we should be ready to adapt.
