FAIR QUESTION
It is only a cry from birth to death, a cry as brief as a moment’s breath, a song that rises in a single note only to sink before it can float. How many of these does he create, the one who makes but never mends, and why continue, it’s fair to ask, when he knows from the start how it all ends?
Is is a fair question and an intriguing one. So let me restate it here:- if we know that life is painful and only ends in death, why bother with it ? This is a huge philosophical question and I’m not going to get involved in matters of belief in a better world beyond this one. But I will say that pain suffering and death are only half the story, and that sometimes even a few moments of joy and love outweigh everything else. I would say in fact that heaven is already in them. Thanks for asking, Paul.
