Summary

This quote reflects a lament about the perceived injustice of life's timeline. It humorously suggests that if life followed a fairer order, individuals would be born older when they have fewer desires or opportunities for enjoyment. Then, as they accumulate enough resources or wealth to truly appreciate life, they would transition into youth. The quote implies that the current reality seems to deny people the chance to fully enjoy the experiences and pleasures of youth due to various constraints or responsibilities.
