birth and death, applies to all. the living, the dead, the living-to-be. this same philosophy lives on. however, the difference is the choices & the bifurcation points of our lives. our life is a one-way ticket. however, from a more positive point of view, our lives are actually a vacation that's granted to us. on the other hand, our lives are also a liability, which we have to take responsibility for. as mentioned, the beginning and end applies to all, but what differs is the process we take.

returning to the crux, life's a journey. & interestingly, the length of this journey is subjective. with foresight, things appear as it is, so does life. however, if we were to view it without the aid of it, it seems magnified a hundred fold. therefore, our time on earth is not as long as we percept.
