We come from a dark abyss, we end up in a dark abyss, the bright space in between is what we call Life. As soon as we are born, the return begins, simultaneously the start and the turning back, we die every moment.
That is why many have proclaimed: The purpose of life is death. But as soon as we are born, the effort begins to create, to compose, to make matter into life, we are reborn every moment.
That is why many have proclaimed: The purpose of ephemeral life is immortality. In these temporary living bodies, these two streams struggle: a) the uphill, towards composition, towards life, towards immortality, b) the downhill, towards decomposition, towards matter, towards death.
