As I the cells grow old. they die and dr<>p away to make room for new evil* The same principle applies to inan. as they grow old. they div to make room for the new gen-j cration of young people. This creates a continuous stream of life. Death may be thought of, not as a black emptiness that Bn< plunges into, but as a cool blue pool in which the stream of life terminates. This is the final resting place. With this in mind, one may face the reality of death without fear. It cannot be avoided, nor should one wish to avoid it. Although the process of removing the aged parts of life’s body is necessary to prevent an overbalance in population and to make room for the young people, it is still a painful process for friends and family to endure. This aspect of existence is therefore soothing through love, we bridge the gap between life and death, through parentage we escape the finality presented by death. Men may die. but their children and grandchildren live on. One who spends his life storing knowledge and wisdom inside himself, but neglects others, may be completely submerged by death; but if one reaches out to others, and passes on his previous possessions of wisdom and experience, a part of him will live on past death. In this way, the cycle of life continues, death unburdening the young. Life becomes eternal.
