“The meaning of life is that it stops”
— Franz Kafka
Simplified Meaning:
Everything in life eventually comes to an end. Like how a flower blooms beautifully but eventually wilts, our lives also have a beginning and an end. Knowing that life is temporary makes us appreciate the moments we have even more. For example, if you know a vacation will end soon, you try to make the most of every day. Similarly, understanding that life isn't forever encourages us to enjoy our experiences, love our family and friends, and make meaningful memories. By remembering that life stops one day, we are reminded to live fully and cherish each moment.
