"Do not regret growing older. It's a privilege denied to many."
Hi.
Please teach me about the meaning of it. I'm at a loss how to interpret this saying.
My try.
Don't regret to become an old man/woman. Because growing older is a privilege of you. Many people cannot become older, but you have the privilege to become older.
It doesn't make sense.
My another try;
"Growing older " is not the matter of aging. It is a figurative expression of "becoming mature".
So,
Don't regret to become older, because becoming older means becoming mature. And only a few people are allowed to become mature.
Fortunately, you're the one, so please do not regret.
Am I understanding correctly?
edit)
OH, I think I got it.
Don't regret to become older, because many people die young.
Right??
But somehow it seems to be a wrong interpretation, yet.
