R. William BennettThese souls were eternally disconnected, forever separated with a force that would not allow any interchange. They were like another race with no societal tie to each other, bound on their own miserable, independent journeys, alike only in the obvious countenance of pain.
About This Quote
This quote is about the nature of death. To understand it, you must first understand it in the context of existence. The existence of life is the existence of death. Life comes from death, but death does not come from life.
The nature of life is to die, but the nature of death is not to live because it has nothing to do with life. If one were to look at it in a normal sense, one would say that death has taken over this world without any blood relation or social tie to anything that lives on earth, but it is because of the opposite that happens. Death only happens if there are two souls that are connected in some way.
This is why there are so many souls in this world, and why they are so lonely and lonely in their own ways. They are all different types of beings, but trapped in different types of bodies.
