"La vieillesse, crois-moi, est une chose bonne et agréable. Il est vrai que tu es doucement écarté de la scène, mais ensuite on te donne une place si confortable en tant que spectateur au premier rang."
— Confucius

Simplified Meaning:
When you get older, it can actually be a nice stage of life. Although you might not be the one in the spotlight anymore, you get to watch and enjoy everything without the pressure. Think of it like a theater show: when you're young, you’re acting on stage, but as you age, you move to a comfy seat in the audience. This allows you to relax, observe, and appreciate what’s happening around you. It's an opportunity to enjoy the show of life from a different, more peaceful perspective. Instead of feeling sad about not being in the center of action, you can take pleasure in watching others take their turn.
