"每一个存在的事物都是无缘无故地诞生,由于软弱而延续,并偶然死亡。"
— Jean Paul Sartre
Simplified Meaning:
Life often starts without any clear purpose. Think about how plants grow from seeds; they don’t choose to sprout, they just do because that’s how nature works. Once something is alive, it keeps going mainly because it doesn’t have the power to stop easily. For example, once you’re riding a bike downhill, you keep moving as long as you don’t hit the brakes, not necessarily because you planned to go far. Finally, the end of life is often unpredictable. Like an unexpected rain shower that catches you by surprise, death can come suddenly without warning. This idea can help us understand that not everything in life follows a clear path or reason, and recognizing this might make us more accepting of life’s unpredictability.
