Sometimes I think to myself:
Why can I endure this pain?
Why do I give everything in this round?
Why does this victory mean so much to me?
Why do I appreciate my health?
Why is this moment together so special?
Why can I survive when it seems impossible? and above all...
Why is this life worth living?
And every time I find my answer in the same 3 words:
Because It Ends.
There is one ultimate truth in this life: Everything ends.
Anything and everything we do in this life holds meaning for that very reason. The good things and the bad. Temporality is both what makes us able to appreciate our highs, and endure our lows. It's simultaniously what helps us find meaning in our darkest of moments, and humility in our brightest. It brings meaning to our lives as a whole.
Memento mori: Remember you will die. Nothing lasts forever, especially not our lives.
So the very reason we do what we do, the very reason this life has meaning is:
Because It Ends.
