“Hell is truth seen too late”
— Thomas Hobbes
Simplified Meaning:
When people realize the truth after it's too late to change things, it can feel like a kind of punishment. Imagine you're baking a cake and miss the step that says to add sugar. By the time you taste the finished cake, it's awful, and you can't go back and fix it. In life, sometimes we make decisions or go down a path without fully understanding the consequences until it’s too late to do anything about them. For instance, if someone ignores the warning signs about their health and only changes their habits after getting very sick, they might regret not paying attention sooner. Understanding something important when there's no way to make it right or fix it can be very painful. So, it's wise to seek the truth early and be careful with our choices, to avoid regret later on.
