"若い頃は自由を重視し、年老いては秩序を重視するようになった。自由は秩序の産物であるという大発見をした。"

Simplified Meaning:
When the writer was young, they valued freedom and doing whatever they wanted. As they got older, they began to see the importance of having rules and organization. They realized that true freedom comes from having order and structure in life. For example, imagine a city without any traffic rules: everyone would drive however they want, which would lead to chaos and accidents. But with traffic lights and rules, people can move around safely and freely. Similarly, by having routines and set goals, a person can manage their life better and actually feel more free to enjoy things without stress. So, to really be free, having some structure and rules is actually necessary.
