"La chose la plus injuste dans la vie, c'est la manière dont elle se termine. Je veux dire, la vie est dure. Elle prend beaucoup de votre temps. Qu'est-ce que vous obtenez à la fin ? Une mort. C'est quoi ça, un bonus ?"

George Carlin

Simplified Meaning:

Life can be very hard and demanding, taking a lot of effort and time from each person. After working so hard, dealing with problems, and putting in so much energy, the end result is always death. This ending feels very unfair, like receiving a punishment instead of a reward for all the hard work. For example, imagine working really hard at a job all your life, hoping to enjoy a nice retirement, but instead, you find out there's no retirement at all – just the end. It's like being promised a good surprise or a special treat after years of effort, only to find out that the surprise is something sad. Despite this, knowing that life ends can make people appreciate their time more, cherishing moments and making the most of their experiences while they can. So, instead of focusing on the end, people should try to enjoy and value the journey, making it as meaningful and joyful as possible.
