Hurried and worried until we’re buried, and there’s no curtain call, Lifes a very funny proposition after all.

Meaning of the quote

Life can be stressful and overwhelming at times, but in the end, it's a funny thing. We often rush through life, worrying about everything, until we die, and then it's all over. There's no encore, no chance to do it all again. So, it's important to remember to slow down, enjoy the ride, and find the humor in life, even when it feels difficult.
