Summary

This quote highlights the contrasting experiences of youth and old age in relation to difficulties. During our younger years, we tend to actively seek out challenges and confront them head-on, often encountering difficulties as a natural part of personal growth and exploration. In contrast, as we grow older, obstacles and challenges seem to appear uninvited and unexpectedly, "running into" us without our active pursuit. It suggests that life transitions from a phase of seeking difficulties to a phase where difficulties find their way to us, highlighting the changing dynamics and perspectives that come with age.
