"人生の流れの中で黄金の瞬間が私たちを駆け抜け、私たちは砂しか見えません。天使たちが私たちを訪れることがあり、それは彼らが去って初めてわかるのです。"
— George Eliot
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, we experience beautiful and important moments in our lives, but we don't realize how special they are until they are over. It's like being at the beach, with golden grains of sand slipping through our fingers, not noticing their beauty because we're too focused on other things. For example, you might overlook the joy in spending time with loved ones because you're preoccupied with work or minor worries. Only after that time passes, and maybe those people are no longer around, do you understand how precious those moments were. This teaches us to appreciate and be fully present in our daily interactions and experiences. By recognizing and valuing these moments and the people around us before they are gone, we can find more happiness and meaning in life.
