"私たちは記憶を詰め込むためにのみ労働し、良心と理解を空のままにする。"
Simplified meaning
Sometimes people spend too much time trying to remember facts, details, or information but neglect to think about what those things mean or how to make good decisions with that knowledge. For example, a student might memorize all the dates of historical events for a test, but never really understand why those events happened or what lessons can be learned from them. This is like filling a room with lots of things but not arranging them in a way that makes the room useful or inviting. Instead of just focusing on remembering things, it’s important to also think deeply about them and understand how they impact our lives and actions. This way, we not only have information but can also make wise choices and have a clearer sense of right and wrong.
