Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death.

Summary

This quote suggests that simply avoiding death does not equate to living a fulfilling life. It implies that true achievement and fulfillment in life go beyond mere survival; it involves actively pursuing our passions, dreams, and goals with purpose and meaning. Merely staying alive without actively engaging in experiences, growth, and personal development would not truly constitute a fruitful life.
