When we're alive, life consumes us. But when we die, all of the color and the motion is gone so quickly, it's as though it can no longer stand to be wasted on us.

Summary

This quote suggests that while we are alive, we are fully immersed in the complexities and demands of life. However, once we pass away, the vibrancy and liveliness that encompassed our existence vanish rapidly, as if they no longer find purpose in being associated with us. It captures the transient nature of life and the idea that our energy and vitality diminish once we are no longer part of the living world.
