Simplified Meaning:
Human history is full of pain and suffering. Wars, conflicts, and wrongdoings have caused much harm and sadness for many people. For example, think about the two World Wars in the 20th century. These wars led to millions of deaths, families being torn apart, and countries being destroyed. Even personal experiences, like losing a loved one or going through a hard time, can be full of similar kinds of hurt. When you look back, you often see both learning and loss. By remembering this, we can try to make better choices now, hoping for a kinder future.
