Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It means that while we live, we are obligated to get the most out of living. If we do not, then we are dying a spiritual death -- one that robs us of seeing hearing tasting everything that we can and experience everything we can.

If we fail to do that, we are spiritually dead, which means that we live a life without meaning. We are worse than being physically dead. We are like Zombies that take in nothing.
