“The point is, not how long you live, but how nobly you live.”

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:

Living well is more important than living for a long time. Imagine two people: one person spends their whole life making lots of money but doesn't care about others, while the other person helps people, is kind, and makes a positive difference. Even if the second person lives a shorter life, their actions are more valuable. Think of famous figures like Mother Teresa; she may not have lived the longest life, but her time was spent helping the needy, and people remember her for her goodness. To apply this idea, focus on doing good deeds, being kind, and making the world better for others. This way, your life will be meaningful and respected, no matter its length.
