yeah, I really liked wath u said , but to hold on for wath? If we know leaving is
suffering, when we know we allways be alone and nobody will ever be able to see
the things the way we do,,,for wath should we hold on? I mean living is suffering
and we cannt ignor allways this emptyness inside...surely we can keep on
believing we find sth in the end ....but maybe it's just like ungaretti(italien
poet) and many other said ; la paura della morte infine aiuta a vivere (= to be
scared of dead at the end helps for keep on living....)
anyway it's like u said jump out of the window or hold on....
