"El estado más doloroso de ser es recordar el futuro, particularmente el que nunca tendrás."
— Soren Kierkegaard

Simplified Meaning:
Thinking about the future you wanted but will never have can be really hurtful. It's like dreaming about a life full of success, love, or adventures, and then realizing it will never happen. Imagine someone who hoped to be a famous artist but ends up working a job they don't like. Every time they think about the dreams they once had, it brings them sadness because they know those dreams are out of reach. This feeling comes from focusing too much on what could have been rather than what's possible now. To avoid this pain, it's better to set realistic goals and appreciate the present. Living in the moment and making the best of what you have can help you feel happier and more fulfilled.
