Cycle of Life


Life.

We are told through a common saying, "don't go towards the light."

But we enter life, by escaping into the light.

But what if through death...the light we see...is just another beginning?

What if the light we see are lights shining when we come out of the woom?

What if life is an endless cycle through reincarnation?

The world was supposed to end plenty of times.

WWI.

2000.

2012.

WWIII??? 

That didn't even happen yet?

Will the world ever end?

What if the only way to die is to not go towards the light?

Then we would never be reborn.

Unless... There's no escaping the light

So if life is an endless cycle... 

Is the saying "life without death doesn't exist," wrong?

See that's the funny thing about Life.

No one really understands the answers to these questions.

There are many more discoveries to be made.

Will there ever be a last discovery?

Will we ever understand where we go when we die?

Will we know where we go when we are first born?

And if we do...are there more mysteries beyond that?

So should we "go towards the light?"
