“It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.”
— Woody Allen
Simplified Meaning:
When someone dies, they can't be aware of their own death because they're no longer alive to think or feel anything. Imagine you’re singing a song; while singing, you can listen to and enjoy the music. But if you suddenly stop being able to hear, you can't follow or enjoy the song anymore. Similarly, if you're not alive, you can't observe or understand the experience of being dead. This idea shows that certain experiences are only possible when we're alive and conscious. It’s like trying to see your own face without a mirror - you need something else to make sense of it. In practical terms, this can remind us to focus on living in the moment. Instead of worrying about what happens after life, we should make the most of the time we have. Enjoy the song while you can hear it, and appreciate life while you’re living it.
