“Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul”
— John Keats

Simplified Meaning:
Life's difficulties and challenges help us grow mentally and emotionally. Just like how a student learns from taking difficult tests at school, people become wiser and stronger through facing and overcoming problems. If everything were always easy, we wouldn't develop important qualities like resilience, empathy, and understanding. For instance, when someone loses a job, they might feel stressed and uncertain. However, this situation can teach them to adapt, improve their skills, and find new opportunities, ultimately becoming more capable and self-aware. Embracing life's ups and downs makes us more complete and thoughtful individuals.
