"活得好和死得好是一回事"
— Democritus
Simplified Meaning:
Living a good life and being ready for death are connected. When you live your life with purpose and kindness, you also prepare yourself to face the end with peace. For example, think of a gardener who plants a beautiful garden. They care for it every day, enjoying the flowers and the work they put into it. When winter comes and the garden fades, the gardener feels satisfied because they made the most of their time with it. Similarly, if you live each day fully and positively, you'll naturally find it easier to accept the end when it comes. To apply this to your life, focus on doing what makes you happy and helps others, so when you look back one day, you feel content and complete.
