Bismark said that all statesmen did was try and catch the coatails of god . When life is ending or one path is closing there are two options, to move with the current or to fight against it. Moving with the cuurrent will most likley be seen as natural or gracefull , it will also probably but not certainley be easier and it will take the least energy and have the least risk. Fighting against what seems inevitable takes will, strength (power) and a willingness to let go of reality yet stay close enough to it so to live in the real world and not one only of your making.
     What we see as real is the world around us, the moon the sky the stars and the ground as well as the people in our lives but while these objects are close to real what we see, think, conceptualize is not. Our world is not the physical world, it's a dark and mirrored reflection both better and worse.on one hand it's filled with warmth and life and change wheras reality is filled with endless stars in a timeless sky. On the other it's also filled with suffering, with endings and falsehoods.
