Simplified meaning
Remembering things helps us become wise. Think of a person who touches a hot stove. The pain teaches them not to do it again. This memory helps them avoid getting hurt in the future. Similarly, when we remember our experiences and learn from them, we make better choices. Memories, whether good or bad, guide us in life, helping us know what to do and what to avoid. Using what we've learned from past events helps us act more intelligently and avoid mistakes.
