( he doesn't typically make use of the network, content to read and stay within his own boundaries but he's feeling a little thoughtful today so.

so, here he is. )

if you had the choice, would you stay alive eternally and watch everyone you love eventually die or would you die young and miss out on a life lived?

Yes. I fight to find a way where all of us can be happy rather than live a life of misery or a life cut short.

[She's done both, already, actually, though she's only aware of having cut her life short.]

If I am eternal, then what is time to me? If I am eternal, then what do I care of endless efforts if it means all my loved ones and I can be together rather than anyone's life being cut short?

[prescind]

some people that i've know just want to rest.
eternal or not, they get tired.

[lightthedarkness]

Then they should be allowed to rest. I would want their happiness too.

But that wasn't your question. But there is never just misery or more misery.

[prescind]

no, you're right.

but there seems to be sometimes
that all that's around is misery

[lightthedarkness]

In that case, you have to be the good you want to see in the world.

It's incredibly difficult, but you we are not just observers of the world around us, we are always participants.

[prescind]

you sound like some people i used to know
that's a good thing
sometimes, you just need the reminder.

[lightthedarkness]

I'm happy to be a reminder for such things.

I hope you find a solution that makes you and your loved ones happy, even if you must make the happiness yourself.

[prescind]

i'm going to do my best.

[lightthedarkness]
