George Herbert's quote "Life is half invested before we know what it is" suggests that we often go through life without genuinely understanding its function or significance, and that by the time we do recognize it, a significant portion of our time has passed. It suggests that we should aim to get a much deeper understanding of life and its complexities early on in our journey, so that we have the ability to live more purposefully and satisfy our real capacity. The quote works as a suggestion to review our existence and the world around us, to question the norms and look for knowledge, and to make the most out of every moment we have.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
