"La brevedad de la vida, tan a menudo lamentada, puede ser lo mejor de ella."

Arthur Schopenhauer

Simplified Meaning:

Life may seem short and that can make people feel sad, but this shortness is actually a good thing. Because life is limited, we appreciate things more and value our time. Imagine if you had a never-ending supply of candy. At first, it would be exciting, but over time, you would lose interest and it wouldn't taste as special anymore. The same goes for life; knowing it will end one day makes us cherish each moment more. Historical figures like Martin Luther King Jr. or Anne Frank lived short lives, but they had a big impact and used their time to do important things. To make the most of a short life, focus on what matters most to you and don't waste time on things that aren't important. Embrace each day and find joy in the little things.
