“He who hurries through life hurries to his grave”
— George R.R. Martin
Simplified Meaning:
When people rush through life without taking the time to enjoy it, they miss out on many important and pleasant experiences. Imagine eating your favorite dessert; if you eat it too quickly, you don't really taste and enjoy it. Similarly, if you rush through your days only focusing on the future, you miss the happiness and beauty of the present moment. This can lead to stress and poor health, which can make your life shorter. For example, a busy worker who quickly eats unhealthy fast food to save time might end up with health problems. They may achieve a lot at work, but their health might suffer, leading to a shorter life. To apply this idea, one should try to slow down, appreciate everyday experiences, and take care of their well-being to live a longer, more fulfilling life.
