Dlaczego ludzie się starzeją?
"Why do people grow old"

Kiedyś nasi przodkowie żyli sobie beztrosko i byli wiecznie młodzi. Ale pewnego razu wszystko się zmieniło. Od tamtej pory starzejemy się i chorujemy.

Ale dlaczego tak się stało?

Może dlatego, że ludzie zaczęli czynić zło dla zabawy?

Dlatego, że wszyscy widzą wrogów w bliźnich?

Dlaczego ludzie nie dostrzegają, że zgoda buduje, a niezgoda rujnuje? I nawet nie zastanawiają się, dlaczego ich życie mija tak szybko, dlaczego serdeczność opuszcza niektóre serca.

There lived our ancestors without sorrow, and all of them were young. But once, everything changed. Since then we have been growing old and sickly.

But why it did happen?

Maybe, because people began to do evil for fun?

Because everyone sees enemies in others?

Why do people not realize that agreement helps to build and disagreement ruins things? And they will not even think why their life passes so quickly, why warmth leaves some of the hearts.
