Simplified Meaning:

When someone does something wrong or unfair to another person, the one who did the bad thing often feels worse inside than the person who was hurt. Imagine a student cheats on a test and gets a good grade, but inside, they feel guilty and worried about getting caught. On the other hand, a student who didn't cheat and got a lower grade might be upset, but they still can feel good about being honest. The person who did the wrong thing has to live with their bad choice and the negative feelings that come with it, which makes them unhappier in the long run. If you think about it, being unfair to others can fill your own life with stress and regret. So, it's better to treat others fairly and keep a clear conscience, which leads to a happier life.
