What Continues On
The battle eventually ended and he returned to his work.
He goes through his days, goes about his business, builds a home, loves, and gets involved in people's lives.
As long as one is alive, there is suffering. Yet even if one meets death, joy will live on.
Life is not a single point. It is a continuous path that connects the past to the future.
"Well there you have it. Take it. It's a keepsake, a souvenir. Even if we all are forgotten, it'll be a memento that everyone will see and know you did something great. Well, if you've taken a liking to it, make it a family heirloom and show it off to your kids or something."
Sometimes one doesn't need to sever karma, but rather to make enduring connections.
"Honestly. I can't believe I made something magnificent without intending that it be used. Maybe I'm going senile."
