Meaning
This reads as a warning against living in either direction, backward in regret or forward in fantasy. It points to the practical middle ground, where the past can inform you, but not hold you, and the future can guide you, but not be mistaken for certainty. It lands in moments of rumination, when someone needs to stop replaying what was lost and focus on what can still be done.
