This quote by Lucius Annaeus Seneca is a pointer to us to not take life for given. It is a caution that time is fleeting and that we should not waste it. We often discover ourselves postponing as well as avoiding important jobs, but in doing so, we are missing out on the priceless minutes of life. Life is a journey and it is essential to take advantage of it. We should not be so concentrated on the future that we forget to delight in the here and now. We must take advantage of the opportunities that come our means and make the most of our time. Life is also short to waste it on laziness. We should maximize every moment and also live life to the greatest.
"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"
