Simplified Meaning:
Everyone wants to live a long life but doesn’t want to deal with the problems that come with getting old. Think about someone who enjoys celebrating their birthday every year but feels sad about getting wrinkles and gray hair. It’s natural to want the good things, like spending more time with family and friends or seeing your grandchildren grow up. However, people often worry about the not-so-good things, like losing strength or having health issues. To apply this idea, we should focus on staying healthy and enjoying each phase of life, rather than fearing what the future might bring. So, take care of your body and mind now to make growing old a more pleasant experience.
