Summary

This quote suggests that a wise mind understands that the passing of time will naturally take things away from us, such as youth, beauty, and physical abilities. However, the true source of mourning lies in what remains â€“ the missed opportunities, unaccomplished goals, and the potential that was not fully realized. Rather than focusing on the physical losses, a wise mind mourns the intangible consequences of aging, emphasizing the importance of making the most of the time we have.
