"O este hombre está muerto o mi reloj se ha detenido."

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine you're in a room with a person who isn't moving or reacting. You look at your watch and notice it's not ticking. This scene suggests two possibilities: either the person is dead or your watch isn't working. It shows a situation where both explanations seem possible, but only one can be true. In real life, this can remind us to consider all possible reasons for something unusual happening. For example, if a friend doesn't reply to your messages, they might be busy, or your messages may not be going through. This helps us remember not to jump to conclusions and to think about different causes before deciding what’s happening.
