Love has to end. That's all. And even though everyone knows it they still fall in love. I guess it's the same with life. We all know it has to end someday, but even so we act as if we're going to live forever. Like love, life is beautiful because it has to end.

“In order to gain something you have to lose something.”
Mom said it was just obvious. People are always trying to get something
for nothing. But that’s just theft. If you’ve gained something it means that
someone, somewhere, has lost something. Even happiness is built on
someone else’s misfortune. Mom often told me this, she considered it one
of the laws of the universe.
My life was over and I had no one who mattered enough for me to call. I
had lived alongside people and created so many links, but they were
ultimately all so tenuous. It’s really depressing—too depressing—to realize
something like that at the end of your life.
When I do finally die, I’d like to go quietly, peacefully, and with dignity. That’s how I always thought it would happen. But when you’re suddenly faced with death, you find yourself willing to accept a helping hand from anyone, even the Devil, in order to stay alive. It’s a basic human instinct. Dignity and respectability have gone out the window at that point.
Human beings put a lot of time and effort into what we eat, finding the right flavors, cooking, even making food into beautiful shapes. And chocolate is part of that too. Some chocolate has nuts in it, or comes in the form of a kind of biscuit or wafer. And in this case we’ve made it look like mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Chocolate seems to have really inspired us humans to come up with new ideas. Maybe that’s what’s driven all human progress: an insatiable desire for new things.
