“There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval”
— George Santayana

Simplified Meaning:
Life starts with birth and ends with death; we can't change that. What we can do is make the best of the time we have between being born and dying. Imagine you have a ticket to an amusement park. You can't change the fact that you have to enter through the gate and leave at closing time. But while you're inside, you can ride roller coasters, eat cotton candy, and have fun. In the same way, life is meant to be enjoyed. Instead of worrying too much about things we cannot control, like when we are born and when we die, we should focus on making good memories and finding happiness in the moments we live. This way, our time here becomes meaningful and fulfilling.
