Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people fail to notice important things around them, and that can lead to mistakes. It's like if you're walking on the street, but you're too busy looking at your phone to see the car coming your way. Not seeing the car is foolish because it could easily hurt you. In history, some leaders ignored clear warnings about dangers, like when people didn't take the threat of diseases seriously until it caused big problems. If you've been told by friends that someone isn't treating you well, but you choose to ignore their advice, you're putting yourself at risk of being hurt emotionally. Paying attention can help you avoid problems and make smarter choices. So, it’s wise to stay aware and notice what’s happening around you.
