“Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. ”
— Rainer Maria Rilke
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, certain answers are not given to us because we are not yet ready to understand or handle them. Imagine a young child asking complex questions about life's difficulties. Even if we explained everything, they wouldn't grasp it fully because they lack the experience and maturity. This is similar to how some challenges or truths in life are too much for us to deal with at certain points in time. In real life, think about a time when someone faced a difficult problem but later, looking back, saw it helped them grow. At that earlier moment, they couldn't see the benefit or lesson because they weren't ready. Instead of rushing to find all answers now, trust that with time and growth, things will make more sense. This means being patient with yourself and understanding that clarity comes with experience.
