“Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced”
— John Keats

Simplified Meaning:
When we hear about something, it might seem distant or unreal until we go through it ourselves. For example, you might have read about how hot a desert can be, but you won't truly understand until you feel the scorching sun on your skin. It’s like reading about swimming and feeling like you understand, but only when you jump into the water do you really know what it’s like. This idea encourages people to step out of their comfort zones and try new things. Instead of just hearing stories or watching others, you learn and grow more by experiencing life firsthand. So, if you want to really understand something, go out and live it, rather than just hearing about it.
