“The soul is born old but grows young. That is the comedy of life.”

Simplified Meaning:
When we are born, our soul feels heavy and wise, almost like it's seen and experienced everything before. As we grow older, life starts to make us feel younger at heart, more carefree and playful. It's a funny thing because usually, we think of aging as turning old and serious. Think about grandparents who often become more relaxed and playful with their grandkids, almost like they're experiencing childhood again. We can apply this idea by trying to let go of our worries a little more as we age and embrace the joy and simplicity of life, no matter how old we get. This way, growing older can feel like becoming more youthful and light-hearted.
