Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, people say "life is short" to remind us to make the most of our time. But what they might not understand is just how long life can feel when you're not happy or when you're facing challenges. Imagine being stuck in a job you hate; each day can feel endless, even though you know time is passing quickly. It's like waiting for a pot of water to boil—it seems to take forever when you're staring at it. Similarly, if someone is lonely or in pain, days can drag on and feel much longer. So, the idea is not just to acknowledge that life is short, but also to recognize that we find ways to make every day better, especially in tough times. By focusing on what makes us happy and improving our situation, we can make our lives feel more fulfilling.
