Meaning
This reads as advice to keep old hurt from steering present choices. It points to anger as something that can quietly shape the future if it is fed, and it can be taken to mean that emotional restraint is a form of self-protection. It lands in a moment when someone is tempted to replay a grievance instead of moving on.
