Simplified Meaning:
Our past experiences continue to influence our present lives. Even though events might have happened years ago, their impact can still be felt today. It’s like a scar from a childhood injury that you still see and feel as an adult. For example, imagine you learned to ride a bike when you were a kid. That skill stays with you, allowing you to ride a bike even many years later. Similarly, if something bad happened, like being bullied in school, it might affect how you trust people today. This idea suggests that we carry our history with us, for better or worse. It affects how we see the world and how we make decisions. To grow and live better, we should understand how the past shapes us and use that awareness to guide our actions.
