Simplified Meaning:

Living a rich and fulfilling life isn't about how long you live, but about the experiences and meaning you find in your years. For example, think about someone who spends their life helping others, enjoying time with loved ones, and exploring their passions. Even if they don't live to be very old, their life is full and satisfying because of what they did with their time. On the other hand, someone who lives a long life but does little of real value might not feel as fulfilled. By focusing on making the most of each day, building strong relationships, and doing things that matter to you, you can live a meaningful life, no matter how many years you have. So, it's important to prioritize what truly makes you happy and gives your life purpose.
