Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, we unintentionally help people who might harm us by giving them the ability or resources to do so. It's like trusting someone with something important, but later they use it against us. For example, if you share a personal secret with someone who doesn't have your best interests at heart, they might use that secret to hurt you later. In history, countries have shared advanced technology with others who eventually used it against them in war. To avoid this, it's important to be careful about who we trust and what we give away, ensuring we don't enable others to cause us harm.
