@edgarblythe,
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.
They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.
They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
Washington Irving

“Closing your eyes isn't going to change anything. Nothing's going to disappear just because you can't see what's going on. In fact, things will even be worse the next time you open your eyes. That's the kind of world we live in. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes. Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won't make time stand still.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Everyone goes through a period of Traviamento - when we take, say, a different turn in life, the other via. Dante himself did. Some recover, some pretend to recover, some never come back, some chicken out before even starting, and some, for fear of taking any turns, find themselves leading the wrong life all life long.”
― André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

“For behold your body —
A painted puppet, a toy,
Jointed, sick and full of false
imaginings,
A shadow that shifts and fades.”

“A typical master. Right to the end, he didn’t give me a chance to get a word in edgeways. Which is a pity, because at that last moment I’d have liked to tell him what I thought of him. Mind you, since in that split second we were, to all intents and purposes, one and the same, I rather think he knew anyway.”
― Jonathan Stroud, Ptolemy's Gate

There is great beauty in nature but also great horror. If you can accept both, therein lies the sublime.

Everything has a value and something that does not have a value is a type of value. You could call a free will which is randomness a value, but everything has a cause. Something is caused has a specific effect, and cannot be caused by randomness because a cause is causing the randomness to cause it and so on in an infinite conceptual loop, leaving no end what can never change.

@edgarblythe,
matter can't be created or destroyed therefore you exist and don't die. For matter to change form there needs to be a thing that determines how to cause a cause to cause something in a certain way. Every way not to do something needs to be determined not to cause the incorrect effect going through everything possible cause which conceptually includes your life and your self.
every cause has a cause including the causes of causing causes leading up in a triangular lines of cause and effect and cause of cause and effect and cause of that cause. The triangular pattern is correct because a singe cause of all causes cannot reach every cause in space.

In time every cause needs to be caused to caused to occur at that certain point therefore an eternal loop, which is incorrect, but is caused not to cause therefore creating the eternal loop.
