"Toute vie, aussi longue et compliquée soit-elle, consiste en réalité en un seul moment le moment où un homme sait pour toujours qui il est."
Simplified meaning
Sometimes, the whole meaning of someone's life can be found in one special moment. This moment is when a person understands who they truly are. Think about a time when you faced a big challenge or made a difficult choice. After that, you might have seen yourself in a new way and felt more certain about what matters to you. For example, a firefighter might realize their true purpose when they save someone from a burning building. That single event can define how they see their whole life from then on. So, it's important to be open to experiences because one powerful moment can show you your true self.
