Simplified Meaning:
Living a life of indulgence or going too far with things can sometimes teach us important lessons. Suppose you party a lot and never get enough sleep; after a while, you might start to feel tired all the time and find it hard to focus. This could make you realize the value of balance and taking care of your health. Similarly, if someone spends all their money on luxuries without thinking, they might end up broke and understand the importance of saving. These experiences, though difficult, can make people wiser because they learn the hard way what truly matters. By seeing the consequences of going overboard, they understand how to make better choices in the future.
