“What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death.”
— Charles Bukowski

Simplified Meaning:
People often worry about dying, but what's really sad is not living a meaningful life before we die. Instead of focusing on the fear of death, we should think about how we spend our time and make sure we live fully. Imagine a person who always wanted to travel the world but never tried because they were too scared or busy. They might reach old age and regret missing out on those adventures. The worst part isn't that their life ended, but that they never felt truly alive or chased their dreams. To prevent this, we should take chances, pursue our passions, and make our lives worthwhile, so we have fewer regrets when the end comes.
