Summary

This quote suggests that human beings are often unable to let go of their past experiences or memories. No matter how much they try to distance themselves from the past, the influence of their previous actions and emotions continues to haunt them. It implies that the past shapes and follows us, creating an inescapable connection that cannot be easily broken. Whether it is through regrets, nostalgia, or longing, man remains tethered to their history, ultimately emphasizing the lasting impact of past decisions on present and future actions.
