“All good things must come to an end”
— Geoffrey Chaucer

Simplified Meaning:
Everything enjoyable or positive eventually finishes. Think about your favorite vacation. You have fun, create memories, and wish it could last forever, but eventually, you have to return home. This phrase reminds us to appreciate these good times while they last, knowing that they won't be around forever. It's like eating a delicious dessert—each bite is wonderful, but you know it can't go on forever. By understanding that good times are temporary, you can cherish them more deeply and prepare yourself for when they end. This way, you can find happiness in every moment and be ready to embrace new experiences when the old ones conclude.
