Summary

This quote suggests that one's character is shaped not only by the experiences they have had but also by the experiences they have not had. It implies that by avoiding certain negative or harmful experiences, individuals develop the strength of character and resilience to act with moral integrity and make better choices. It highlights the importance of learning lessons from the lack of certain experiences and using these omissions as opportunities for personal growth and self-improvement.
