Simplified Meaning:
Understanding life involves recognizing how we've changed over time. Think about a child growing up; they learn new things, develop new habits, and think differently as they age. When you were a kid, you might have been scared of the dark, but as an adult, you understand there's nothing to fear. This change in understanding and behavior shows personal growth. By noticing these changes, we can appreciate how we've improved and become wiser. This awareness helps us make better decisions and continue growing. A person recognizing their own progress can feel more confident and motivated to keep moving forward.
