Breaths Taken or Taken Away Quote by Mya Angelou
It may be hard to understand what Mya Angelou meant when she said “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” The more you think about it, however, the clearer it becomes.
When people are asked what they want from the future, they will often say a long life and this can be seen to be the breaths taken. The idea is that the more breaths you have the longer you live and the happier you will be.
There is another side to this, according Mya Angelou, and someone who has had maybe 90 years-worth of breaths may not have had an exciting or happy life. A much younger person may have had amazing experiences, and therefore will be considered to be luckier.
While they may breathe for less time, they will have experienced things of such magnitude that their breath will have been taken away.
