NashtheLion 01/20/22 3:39:39 AM #5:	I, for one, welcome an end, whenever it may be. Hope, faith, reason has no merit against the immutable truth. To go on forever, even outside this temporal form, is not ideal. As cliche as it reads, death is a part of life. If you dont accept that, well then, you do not understand life. The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.
