“From the moment we are born, we begin to die.”

Simplified Meaning:

From the time we're born, our life clock starts ticking. Just like a new toy begins to wear out from its first use, our bodies start aging from day one. Imagine a flower starting its bloom; it grows beautifully but also gets closer to wilting with each passing day. Understanding this helps us realize how precious time is. Instead of fearing it, though, we can focus on living fully, enjoying moments, and making meaningful memories. By appreciating the limited time we have, we might choose to spend it doing things we love or being with people who make us happy.
