Summary

This quote emphasizes the transient nature of life and advises against dwelling excessively on past events or rehashing grievances. It suggests that wasting time and energy on things that have already happened is futile and detracts from the limited time we have to make the most of our lives. Instead, it encourages us to focus on moving forward, seeking new experiences, and making the most of the present rather than getting caught up in the past.
