"Me pregunto si la vida alguna vez es vivida bien por alguien, si hay alguna cosa que pueda llamarse un éxito salvo la supervivencia."
— Alice Walker
Simplified Meaning:
Living a good life can be really hard and messy, and maybe no one truly lives it perfectly. It’s tough to know if there’s any clear way to see someone as truly successful, other than just making it through each day. Think about people throughout history who are considered great, like famous leaders or artists—they all faced struggles and imperfections. For example, Abraham Lincoln led the country through tough times and is remembered as a great leader, but he had personal struggles and made mistakes too. This quote suggests that instead of aiming for a perfect life or trying to be hugely successful, just surviving and getting through each day might be the real achievement. We can apply this by not being too hard on ourselves and recognizing that doing our best to get through life is already an accomplishment.
