Like a grape that has fallen to the ground, we may fade away without becoming nourishment for any living being, without blending into the earth and opening a door to new life. Would it be fate for our existence to end without joining a cycle, or merely coincidence?
Life grants no one special privileges. It simply flows as it is. From birth to death, we merely accompany this flow. Within this entire torrent, we are only tangents.
In everything that rotates, speed increases as one moves away from the center. The outermost layer may reach the highest speed, but it is also the farthest from the center and the most vulnerable to being swept away.
Imagine a puzzle. Every choice changes the picture. And each time the picture is rebuilt, it still forms a meaningful image. This is called particular will.
