Simplified Meaning:

Living life is about experiencing new things and making the most out of every moment. The idea here is that going through the same event multiple times, especially something as final as death, would be tiresome and repetitive. Imagine if you had to watch the same movie over and over again, no matter how much you liked it the first time, it would eventually become boring. This is similar to the writer's point about dying twice—once you've been through it, doing it again would be redundant and dull. The wisdom here might be to appreciate the uniqueness of each moment and not wish to relive the past at the expense of the present. In your life, don’t waste time wishing to go back and change things; focus on making the most of your time right now.
