As one door closes, another opens.
Yesterday, mom and I had a very interesting conversation based on a number of existential enquiries that have been rattling around my head lately.
Me: "Mom, everyone in the world dies."
Mom: "Yes, thats true"
Me: "Everyone."
Mom: "Yep, usually when people get old, but everyone dies eventually."
Me: "When everyone dies, won't the world change forever?"
Mom: "Oh. Well, honey not everyone dies at the same time. Every day some people die in the world and some people are born."
Me: "So the world doesn't change?"
Mom: "Well, the world changes a little bit every day but there are people..."
Me: "There are people coming and going all the time from the world."
Mom: "Right, exactly hon. People are coming and going all the time."
Me: "So...someone is being dead right now."
Mom: "Yes, and someone is being born right now."
Me: "And now?"
Mom: "Yes, and now, somewhere in the big world. Pretty amazing isn't it?"
Me: "Yep."
