"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced."
Simplified meaning
Sometimes, there are problems in life that we can't solve, even if we try hard. For example, a big natural disaster like an earthquake is something we cannot change or stop. However, if we don't recognize and confront these issues, we won't even have a chance to make things better. For instance, if someone has a problem with their health, they need to see a doctor and address it, even if the cure is difficult. By facing the issue head-on, they might find treatment or ways to manage their condition. So, the advice here is to always try to deal with problems directly because that's the only way we might find solutions or improvements. Ignoring problems won't change anything.
