"Notre vie est un voyage et en nous rapprochant de la mort elle nous ramène à notre être."
— Soren Kierkegaard
Simplified Meaning:
Life is like a long trip we all take. Along the way, everything we do and experience shapes who we are. Each day brings us closer to the end of the trip, which is our death. However, thinking about the end makes us remember what truly matters and who we really are inside. For example, if someone is always busy with work and sometimes forgets what is important, like spending time with their family, remembering that life is short can help them focus on what truly makes them happy. By being aware of our limited time, we can appreciate life more and stay true to ourselves.
