“Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead.”
— F. Scott Fitzgerald
Simplified Meaning:
It's important to appreciate and support our friends while they are still alive rather than waiting until it’s too late. Imagine a birthday party where only a few people show up, but once the person passes away, hundreds come to their funeral. This doesn’t make much sense because the person can't see or feel the love after they are gone. It’s much more meaningful to offer compliments, spend time together, and show kindness during their life. By doing this, we make them feel valued and happy. In our everyday lives, we should express gratitude and care towards our friends and family, ensuring they know how much they matter to us right now.
