"El hombre tenía que sufrir para comprender."
— Alan Watts

Simplified Meaning:
To truly understand and learn important lessons, people often have to go through difficult experiences. For example, when a child touches a hot stove and gets burned, they learn not to touch it again because they felt pain. This same idea can apply to many areas in life. If someone starts a business and it fails, they learn more about running a business from their mistakes than from reading a book. These hardships teach them valuable lessons that success alone might not reveal. Overall, going through tough times can help people become wiser and better prepared for future challenges.
