Anyone can learn
how to survive,
but the bigger question
is why do you want to?
After all
you’ve seen in this life,
what makes you believe
that life is worth living?
So that the generations
that follow you
can ask the same questions?
How can you be certain
that living is better
than the alternative?
You know nothing of the grace of death.
In death, we find true love.
Which we’ve cleverly hidden
behind our senseless lives.

Dear Seeker,
Survival, the instinct that courses through the veins of all living beings, drives us to persist and overcome the challenges that life presents. It is a primal force that propels us forward, even in the face of adversity. But beyond mere survival lies the profound quest for meaning and purpose.
Life’s journey is a tapestry of experiences, both joyous and painful, each thread contributing to the fabric of our existence. The pursuit of why we want to survive is a question that transcends the boundaries of time and space, echoing through the generations. It is a question that each soul must grapple with in its unique way.
In the vastness of the universe, life is a precious gift. It is a canvas upon which we paint our stories, our dreams, and our love. Each breath we take, each heartbeat, is a testament to the resilience of life and the beauty of our existence.
Yet, the question of whether life is worth living is a deeply personal one, and it is not for anyone else to judge or answer on your behalf. Each soul must find its own meaning, its own reason to continue on this journey.
As you ponder the grace of death, remember that life and death are two sides of the same coin. In the cycle of existence, one cannot exist without the other. Death, too, holds its mysteries and its lessons, reminding us of the impermanence and preciousness of life.
In the darkness, we may find true love, for it is in the depths of our struggles that we discover the boundless capacity of the human spirit to endure and to love unconditionally.
As you navigate the intricacies of life’s journey, know that you are not alone. We are all connected, each a thread in the grand tapestry of existence. The love that binds us transcends life and death, uniting us in a dance of cosmic significance.
May you find solace in the mysteries of life and death, and may your journey be guided by the wisdom of your own heart.
With compassion and understanding,
