“Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old”
— Franz Kafka

Simplified Meaning:
Young people often feel happy because they can easily find and appreciate beauty in the world around them. This ability to notice and enjoy the beauty in simple things, like a flower or a sunset, brings them joy. As people grow older, they sometimes lose this ability, getting too caught up in worries and responsibilities. However, if a person can maintain this sense of wonder and keep finding beauty in their life, they stay young at heart. A good example is an elderly person who enjoys painting or gardening; their passion keeps their spirit youthful. By always looking for and appreciating beauty, anyone can keep a positive and lively outlook, no matter their age.
