Views on controversial subjects

Nunca es tarde si la dicha es buena, es un refrán que indica que la aventura es siempre bien recibida, que nunca es tarde para llevar a cabo algo útil y beneficioso y que cualquier momento es bueno para emprender aquello que haya de reportarnos algún placer o mejora.  

El paso del tiempo no debe ser obstáculo para realizar aquello que deseamos. No hemos de sentirnos viejos/as ni desechar nuestros afanes por considerar que ya no tenemos edad, porque la alternativa, no hacer nada, es la menos deseable de todas. 

NUNCA SERÁ TARDE PARA EMPEZAR EN ESPAÑOL.
Más vale tarde que nunca.

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These expressions of happiness and contentment span a spectrum of formality and tone. In everyday conversation, one might simply say they are "happy," "content," or even use the term "pleased" to express satisfaction. When the feeling is particularly strong, phrases like "I am genuinely happy" and "I am overjoyed" convey the depth of joy. In informal settings, a more relaxed approach may be taken with expressions like "on cloud nine" or "over the moon," indicating extreme happiness. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I am pleased to inform you" or "I am delighted to announce," emphasizing the importance of the news. Politeness tempers the happiness in expressions such as "I'm really happy for you" or "That's wonderful news," demonstrating a genuine celebration of someone else's success. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the joy, as seen in expressions like "doing the happy dance" or "grinning from ear to ear." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their contentment with statements like "I'm quite content" or "I find myself in high spirits," maintaining an air of sophistication. For royalty, joy is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "It brings me great joy" or "I am genuinely pleased," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
