“Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.”
— 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.
