“Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten.”
— Aesop

Simplified Meaning:
When someone hurts us, we might be able to forgive them and let go of our anger. However, we still remember what happened and it stays in our mind. This means we can move past the pain and not hold a grudge, but we learn from the experience and become more cautious in the future. For example, if a friend betrays our trust by lying, we might decide to forgive them and stay friends, but we won't easily trust them like before. Knowing how they hurt us helps us be more careful next time. Applying this wisdom is about protecting ourselves while still being open to relationships. It's a balance of being kind and understanding, but also wise and aware of what happened.
