"人はいつも早すぎるか遅すぎるかのいずれかで死ぬ。それでも人生はそこにあり、終わっている。線が引かれており、すべてを合計しなければならない。あなたはあなたの人生以外の何物でもない。"
— Jean Paul Sartre
Simplified Meaning:
No matter when someone dies, whether early or late, it always feels like their life is incomplete. However, once a person is gone, their entire life comes to an end, and everything they've done will be considered as a whole. You are defined entirely by the life you've led. Imagine a famous athlete who passes away unexpectedly young. People might say they left too soon and wonder what more they could have achieved. On the other hand, an elder who dies naturally might feel like they didn't have enough time to do everything they wanted. In both cases, their life story, accomplishments, and choices are what people remember. This teaches us to live fully and take every moment seriously because, in the end, our actions and decisions shape how we will be remembered.
