The birth of a man is the birth of his sorrow. The longer he lives, the more stupid he becomes, because his anxiety to avoid unavoidable death becomes more and more acute.
What bitterness!
He lives for what is always out of reach!
His thirst for survival in the future makes him incapable of living in the present.

Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued.
Whether you are going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it, and find out the truth about who your are.
Tu problema es como vas a pasar esta preciada y única vida que tienes.
La puedes vivir intentando verte bien y creando la ilusión de que tienes poder sobre personas y circumstancias, o bien la puedes vivir saboreandola, disfrutándola y buscando la verdad acerca de quién eres.
