Summary

This quote suggests that stubborn or self-willed individuals often learn valuable lessons from the harm or negative consequences they bring upon themselves. It implies that when these individuals make choices or take actions that lead to harm or adversity, it serves as a form of education for them. By experiencing the effects of their own actions, they are taught the consequences of their behavior and, hopefully, can learn and grow from their mistakes. Ultimately, it highlights the idea that personal experience, even if it involves self-inflicted harm, can be a powerful teacher for those who are resistant to external advice or guidance.
