"Un día nacimos, un día moriremos todos, el mismo día, el mismo segundo."
— Samuel Beckett
Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that the most important moments in our lives – birth and death – happen in an instant. Even though we live many years between these events, they happen quickly and on specific moments. Imagine a clock: the exact second you were born is a single point in time, and the exact second you will die is similarly just one moment. Think about a famous person, like Shakespeare. He was born one day, lived his life full of creativity and writing, and then one day, he died. For him, just like for us, these important moments are single points in time. Understanding this can remind us to make the most of the time in between, as life is finite. We should cherish our moments, live fully, and appreciate each day, because the start and end points are just brief snapshots in the grand scheme of our journey.
