You can't live, you can't die.

You can't live, you can't die.
It means that if you want to live, you can't live, if you want to die, you can't die.
Describe the situation as very difficult.
Some people are sick and paralyzed in bed, unable to move, but they cannot die. They cannot live or die. This is all the retribution of killing karma.
Staying on the bed and pillow for a long time, fighting for life and death, nothing can be achieved.
You say you want to live, but living is too painful, and you want to die, because you can't take another breath.
