No end to this human lifetime would probably be difficult and boring; the end to it will probably also be difficult, though probably not boring. We don't know when this wonderful duration will end, so it makes sense to me to make the best of it. My beliefs: Change is always, death is change, and silence will occur just as it does in the present. "We are nobodies" -- we or the essence of us are not bodies. Love is oneness, we exist within oneness or love, change and death occur within love, and love is infinite, eternal, and much bigger than change and death -- if that is what the author means by love is the only revenge, I agree. By not committing suicide and staying alive, I gamble on humanity, I stay in the game, I commit life unto life. What helps me to life unto life is that I find the trip or experience satisfying, I enjoy life and the learning and growth that occurs in it, and I want to play out this human life until it ends.
