The meaning behind this saying is quite profound and philosophical. Let's break it down:<br><br>1. "Vivemos a vida" (We live life): This part suggests that we, as individuals, are the active agents in our lives. We are the ones who make decisions, take actions, and shape our own experiences.<br><br>2. "não nós a vida" (life doesn't live us): This part implies that life itself is not in control of us. We are not merely passive participants being carried along by the currents of life.<br><br>The saying encourages people to take ownership of their lives and to be proactive in creating the kind of life they want to live. It emphasizes the idea that we have the power to make choices and to influence the direction of our lives, rather than simply letting life happen to us.<br><br>In essence, the saying is a reminder to be an active participant in one's own life, to make the most of the opportunities presented, and to not let life's challenges or obstacles dictate one's path. It's a call to embrace agency, responsibility, and the power of choice in shaping one's own life journey.</div></div><div><div>-------------------------------------<br></div></div></div>
