Everything ends, and Everything matters. Everything matters not in spite of the end of you and all that you love, but because of it. Everything is all you’ve got…and after Everything is nothing. So you were wise to welcome Everything, the good and the bad alike, and cling to it all. Gather it in. Seek the meaning in sorrow and don’t ever turn away, not once, from here until the end. Because it is all the same, it is all unfathomable, and it is all infinitely preferable to the one dreadful alternative. .Ron Currie Jr.
About This Quote
Everything ends: that is a fact that we cannot ignore. We all must eventually lose something and experience the end of something that we care about; we may even lose everything we love. We can, however, choose to accept this reality and use it for our own growth. We may not be able to prevent the end of something, but we can refrain from regretting it or making it worse by taking such things or people for granted.
