"كانت ولادته موته."

Samuel Beckett

Simplified Meaning:

When the quote says 'birth was the death of him,' it's telling us that from the moment he was born, his fate or end was sealed. It suggests that life inherently carries the guarantee of death. Think about a flower blooming. As soon as it blooms, it starts the journey towards wilting. Just like that, our lives start the moment we are born, but aging and eventually dying come along as part of the deal. If someone understands this, they might choose to live their life more fully, knowing time is precious. It’s a reminder to appreciate life’s moments because they lead us to an unavoidable end.
