“The life of the dead is placed in the memory”
— Marcus Tullius Cicero
Simplified Meaning:
When someone dies, they live on in the memories of the people who knew and loved them. Think of it like this: even though they are not physically with us anymore, we can still remember the good times we shared with them. For example, when a beloved grandparent passes away, their stories, laughter, and lessons stay with family members. These memories keep them alive in our minds and hearts. By remembering the dead, talking about them, and telling their stories, we hold onto a part of them. This way, their existence continues through our recollections and the impact they had on our lives. We can honor their life by cherishing these memories and sharing them with others.
