*I smile.*

You understand now.  Only that which unites itself in the eternal can ever [i]be[/i] eternal.  Unfortunately, it seems ideals of liberty can very much perish from this earth, as this world shows; the fall of the Axis Powers, and the fall of the Berlin Wall forty years later, shows that neither communism nor fascism is what we're looking for either.  Even technocracy, government by the learned man, doesn't last, as this pitiful little world government can show you.

The question, then, is what, in a universe defined by laws of entropy and inevitable decay, can ever truly defy death?  Can anything?

In truth, I doubt such a thing exists.

You know, I've heard humans use "love" to answer that question before. I do truly wish that idealism was correct. It humbles and reminds me that we're all coming from a different place.
