Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, we learn things that are unpleasant or make us uncomfortable, but that knowledge can still be valuable. For example, if you find out that a friend has been lying to you, it might hurt and make you feel bad. Nonetheless, knowing the truth helps you understand who your real friends are and who you can trust. This bitter experience teaches you something important, even if it’s not something you’re happy about. Such lessons are essential as they help you make better decisions in the future and protect yourself from being hurt again. So, even if a lesson is painful or disappointing, it's still useful and necessary for personal growth and a better understanding of the world.
