Living is always cruel. But if you die, you cut yourself away from others. From the ones you care for. You cut yourself away from happiness, from joy, from love.
[He shakes his head.]
The bad is always there, but it comes with the good, too. When you die, there is nothing to be done for it. But when you live, you can help others, and help yourself. There's opportunity there. And you can use that opportunity to make a difference in this world.
You do. [He laughs, completely humourlessly.] But if there's happiness, there's also pain and misery, if there's joy, there's pain and monotany, and if there's love...
Nothing hurts more than love. It's torture, plain and simple.
[Then he falls silent.]
But it's all... a good kind of hurt, I suppose. I like the world, for all it's fucked up contradictions. But living in it's an ongoing trial. Death? Death's just the release of all that. It's an ending but it has to end or else all that buildup's just for sod all.
There's a reason the french call a climax the little death, you know?
