“The individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains”
— Nikola Tesla

Simplified Meaning:
People come and go; they live for a short time and then die. Groups of people, like races and nations, also change and eventually disappear. However, humanity as a whole continues to exist. Think about the ancient Egyptians who built the pyramids. The people who built them and their civilization are long gone, but humans are still here, living and creating new things. This means that although individual lives and societies are temporary, the human species endures. It reminds us that while our time is limited, we're part of something much bigger and long-lasting.
