“It's useless to look back at the past, expecting the old to be the same as the new”
— Shirley MacLaine

Simplified Meaning:
Dwelling on the past and wishing for things to be the same as they used to be is pointless. Life constantly changes, and thinking that past experiences or situations should repeat themselves in exactly the same way doesn't help you move forward. Imagine someone who moves to a new city, but keeps comparing everything to their old home. They might miss out on making new friends because they're too focused on how different things are. Instead, they should embrace the new experiences, learn new things, and appreciate the new environment. This openness can lead to personal growth and happiness. The key is to use the past as a learning tool, not a place to live.
