Simplified Meaning:

You can't change what really happened in the past just by hiding parts of it. Imagine you have a photo album full of memories—some good, some bad. If you flip over the pictures of the bad times, it doesn't mean those events didn't happen; you just can't see them anymore. Similarly, trying to ignore or hide parts of history doesn’t erase them. A real-life example is when some governments try to censor events from school textbooks because they look bad. People still know those events happened, and not talking about them doesn’t make them go away. If you want to make a positive difference, you should face the past honestly and learn from it. By understanding what went wrong, you can work to make sure it doesn't happen again. This way, future actions are based on real lessons rather than ignored mistakes. Embracing the full story, even the uncomfortable parts, helps us grow and improve as individuals and as a society.
