“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.”
— Marcus Aurelius

Simplified Meaning:
People should not be scared of dying, but instead, they should be worried about never really living their lives. This means, it's more important to make the most of our time, do things we love, and pursue our dreams rather than being afraid of death. Imagine someone works hard every day, always stressed and never takes a break to enjoy life—they might have lots of money but no happiness or good memories. On the other hand, consider a person who spends time with family, travels, tries new hobbies, and follows their passions. They might not live as long, but their life is full and meaningful. So, we should focus less on the fear of dying and more on living fully, experiencing new things, and building happy memories.
