"La vie n'est pas un spectacle ou une fête ; c'est une situation difficile."
— George Santayana

Simplified Meaning:
Life isn't just about watching or enjoying; it's more about dealing with problems and challenges. Imagine planning a big party. While it sounds fun, it's actually a lot of work. You have to prepare food, send invitations, and clean up afterward. Sometimes things go wrong, like running out of snacks or a spill that messes up the decorations. Similarly, in life, we often have tough situations to handle, like studying for exams, finding a job, or dealing with misunderstandings among friends. These tasks might not be easy, but facing and solving them is part of living. The idea is to be ready for hard times and not just expect fun and ease all the time. By understanding this, we can be more prepared and resilient.
