Simplified Meaning:
Wise people understand that pain and hardships are part of life, and they face them with trust and strength. They know that difficult times will come, but they don’t run away or lose hope. Just like how water doesn’t fear fire because it knows it will eventually put the fire out, strong people face challenges head-on. For example, imagine a student who is struggling with a difficult subject. Instead of giving up, they keep studying and practicing, trusting that their hard work will pay off. By staying strong and persistent, they eventually understand the subject better and succeed. This teaches us that when we encounter problems, we should not be afraid or discouraged. Instead, we should trust ourselves and keep going.
