Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who constantly interact with other humans are bound by the limitations of their own experiences and perceptions. They can only go back and reflect on the past, attempting to understand and make sense of their actions, behaviors, and decisions.

Instead, we are left to learn from our past experiences in order to navigate the unpredictable nature of human existence.
