Let’s face it, life is trivial, and my guess is that dying imparts very little wisdom on those in process.

About This Quote

When the author of this quote, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., said, “Let’s face it, life is trivial, and my guess is that dying imparts very little wisdom on those in process,” he was speaking about the importance of living a meaningful life. He believed that people should live a meaningful life that would have a lasting impact. When people lose their lives without leaving a meaningful legacy behind them, they have lost their lives. Vonnegut Jr., was trying to convey the importance of living a meaningful life by saying “Let’s face it”. He believes that life is trivial and dying doesn’t provide much wisdom to those who are living at the time of death.
