"混乱はごく若い人だけが享受できる贅沢で、あなたはもうそんなに若くない。"
— James Baldwin

Simplified Meaning:
When you are very young, it is okay to be confused because you are still learning about the world. People expect children to have questions and not understand everything right away. However, as you grow older, you are expected to know more and handle your responsibilities better. Imagine a child learning to tie their shoes; it's normal for them to struggle at first. But if an adult can't tie their shoes, it seems strange because they should have learned by now. Similarly, adults need to manage their confusion and find solutions quickly because others rely on them. So, as you get older, it’s important to work on getting better at figuring things out and not let confusion hold you back.
