Life is a shipwreck but we must remember to sing in the life

Summary

This quote, often attributed to Voltaire, suggests that life is filled with hardships and challenges, just like a shipwreck. However, it highlights the importance of maintaining a positive attitude and finding joy amidst adversity. The lifeboats symbolize the small moments of respite or happiness we can find in difficult times. It encourages us to stay hopeful, resilient, and to make the most of the situations we find ourselves in, even when things seem dire. Singing in the lifeboats signifies finding moments of happiness, no matter how small, to help carry us through the struggles of life.
