Endings/Beginnings

Endings are also beginnings. I've often thought that when reading novels or watching films. I believe this because endings are not always satisfactory, especially those children's books that conclude with the cop out "they lived happily ever after." If endings were really endings, we'd have no sequels or prequels or television shows made into films or films made into television shows. The end would be the end and that would be that. In life, the end comes in death, I think. There could be something after that, but I remain to be convinced. For me, that this is the only attractive part about dying: we get to see if there is anything after this life. I suspect that there isn't, but I am not sure I want to delve into religion right now.

There are endings and there are beginnings.

To be continued...

You have that right on. You are right about childrens story books like Cinderella at the end when she marries the prince and they say they lived happily ever after because now they have like two sequel books that go with the first one. I dont completely understand it but hey.
