"人生如同故事,不在于其长度,而在于其质量。"
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Simplified Meaning:
Life is like a story. What really matters is not how long the story is, but how good and meaningful it is. For example, think about a movie. A short film can be very powerful and touching, even though it's much shorter than a long movie. In the same way, a person's life can be valuable and full of happiness and love, even if it's not very long. Imagine a person who helps their friends a lot, spreads kindness, and makes others smile. Their life might be short, but they leave a big impact and are remembered fondly by many people. On the other hand, someone might live for many years but not make a positive difference or enjoy their time. People can apply this idea by focusing on making the best out of their time on Earth. Instead of worrying about how long we will live, it's better to try and live a good life, filled with kindness, fun, and purpose. So, by aiming to do good things and cherish every moment, we can make our lives truly valuable.
