Man is mortal some time.

I feel sad at that desperate language.

But unfortunately, the language is an obvious fact.

What do you think about the language?

I think that life is like yellowing fallen leaves.

Take the world things as it is empty?

Yes, sir. Everything of the world is the inscrutable ways of Providence.

I don't feel to do anything, if I'm so to think that.

So then, you never mind think so that.

I don't know anything, what to do, how to do.

The despair makes feel disappointment for oneself.

I understand, I will take along with your advice.

The man must to have a hope, renounce pessimism.

From now, also, I'm going to live in hope of the world.

In front of, you will never pessimize like that.

Thank you so much, you should to live again for my heart and body.

You're welcome! While live long enough enjoy you life.

I will never forget your kindness favor.

Thanks, Let's live hard all forget about anxiety and despair.

Open your heart, see again in this world.

Oh! It's very beautiful world!

Brownie points if you can translate it back into the original Korean!
