Life is unpredictable and fleeting from "summary" of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám by Omar Khayyam,Edward FitzGerald
Behold how the cup of life overflows with uncertainty, how the winds of fate blow in unpredictable directions, carrying us along their whimsical currents. Like a fleeting shadow, we traverse the paths of existence, never knowing what lies beyond the next bend. The sands of time slip through our fingers, leaving behind only memories and regrets.
In the grand scheme of things, we are but mere mortals, transient beings in a world that is ever-changing and ephemeral. The rose that blooms today may wither tomorrow, its beauty fading into oblivion. We are but grains of sand in the vast desert of time, swept away by the relentless tide of fate.
What is the purpose of our fleeting existence, if not to ponder the mysteries of life and death, to contemplate the fleeting nature of our existence? Like the stars that twinkle in the night sky, we shine for but a moment before fading into nothingness. Our lives are but a brief interlude in the grand symphony of the universe.
So let us embrace the unpredictability of life, let us drink deeply from the cup of existence, savoring every moment as if it were our last. For in the end, all that remains are the memories we have created, the love we have shared, and the lessons we have learned along the way. Let us make the most of our time on this earth, for tomorrow is never guaranteed, and today is all we truly have.
