You don’t realize the beauty of it then!

When I was 20, I was afraid of becoming 30

I thought I will die, if I became 30

I became 30,

And unsurprisingly, I was alive

I realized it was really beautiful then

When I was 30, I was afraid of becoming 40

I thought the world would end, when I become 40

I became 40, and sadly I was the same

When I became 50

I realized it was really beautiful then

I look back to 50, and think the same when I’m 60

I look back to 60, and think the same when I’m 70

In front of death, every last moment is the climax of your life.

All ages are like a flower

You just don’t know how beautiful each age was at that time.

( translated from a Korean poem)
