What do you believe in?
Do we just stop? Like words at the end of a page?
Or is there something else there?
Think about this:
If you were walking in a forest, wouldn't it be blasphemous to say that there is no end? Ridiculous to say that the forest stretches on forever?
But don't all forests come out somewhere?
That may be a backwards metaphor, but it still makes sense.
Symbolically speaking, one could say our trip here in this body is a lot like a walk through a forest. A walk where we don't just terminate when we reach the edge. A walk where holes, logs, animals, and the dark are our enemies, and sunlight, moss, downhill slopes, and fellow hikers are our friends.
But dare to see it that way.
I just don't find any sense in saying there ISN'T anything at the end of the forest.
