“The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.”
This beautiful quote is saying to me, it is only through dying that you could ever know you are alive, and that there could never be such a state as an eternal life for you.
It says, your life is always a fleeting moment, here today, gone tomorrow, and that's what makes it all so lovely or not so lovely, the fact is, is that it can be gone in an instant and never be seen again. So however your life appears, it doesn't matter, for it will be gone in a heart beat, never to be seen again.
It says, there is no difference between living one minute or living a hundred years because at the moment of your death, time will be seen for the very first time to be none existent.
It says, there is no one living life or dying, except the temporal transient appearance of such. . just like waking from a dream and realising nothing ever happened.
