Kinda like once bitten , twice shy!
If you get burned, you will be more careful with fire in the future.
Dread is to worry like to exercise extra care to avoid circumstances!

I don't know what the hell you just said, but it sounded good. But I think it means, you learn from experience. If the child got burned once then probably scared to get burned again. ....I don't know I'm just guessing.

A wounded soul is leery of life. Those that have been hurt tend to be afraid of the thing that has hurt them.
