This line has a broad meaning and you can simply understand that a person who have suffered a bad thing in life or had some bad experiences in earlier life he will be frightened or scared to try that thing again in his life.
For example in a boy in his childhood hurt himself with fire then when he was of 18 years of age he started staying away from fire.
