"يولدون بجانب قبر يلمع الضوء لحظة ثم يحل الليل من جديد"
— Samuel Beckett
Simplified Meaning:
Life is very short and fleeting. From the moment we are born, we are already heading towards the end, like standing over a grave. The time we have, symbolized by light, passes quickly and soon ends, plunging us back into darkness. Imagine lighting a match in the dark night—it shines brightly for a brief moment before burning out, and then you find yourself in darkness again. This describes how brief and precious life is, highlighting the importance of cherishing each moment. To apply this to our lives, we should focus on what truly matters, spend time with loved ones, pursue our passions, and live fully because our time is limited. By appreciating each day and making meaningful choices, we make the most out of our short existence.
