waiting for tomorrow” or “To feel deep regret is to live a new life.”\u003cbr\u003e The desire to share the emotions one has received with loved ones has spread gently like dandelion seeds, blooming small flowers in the hearts of over 500,000 people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The owner of the flower seeds is none other than the writer Oh Pyeong-seon. \u003cbr\u003eThe sentences in his book, \"You're Not Growing Old, You're Ripening,\" published in 2016, were actively shared among middle-aged people through social media and messengers, and they reminded them of the happiness and meaning of life that they had neglected while running forward without looking back.\u003cbr\u003e And finally, in December 2022, thanks to the requests of countless readers who wanted to fully experience Oh Pyeong-seon's writing, the previously beloved writings were reborn as 65 life sentences, with new thoughts containing Oh Pyeong-seon's unique philosophy that is richer and wiser.\u003cbr\u003e Here, over 40 famous paintings that become more beloved over time are presented, along with aphorisms from life's elders, including Montaigne, Aristotle, and the monk Beopjeong, to provide even more colorful and profound comfort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eLet's give this book to my parents, who have always postponed their happiness for the sake of their family, and to myself, who has postponed my own life to live up to the world's standards.\u003cbr\u003e These sentences, like the warmth of sunshine that will embrace the latter half of your life, will offer a warm and caring presence on lonely and weary days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Every year, after the farming season is over, the fields are left empty until spring to allow the land to
