By all outward appearances our life is a spark of light between one eternal darkness and another. between these two nights, for the more we are able to feel pleasure, the more we are vulnerable to pain—and, whether in background or foreground, there's always pain, We have been accustomed to make this existence worthwhile by the belief that there is more than the outward appearance—that we live for a future beyond this life here.

For the outward appearance does not seem to make sense. If living is to end in pain, incompleteness, and nothingness, it seems a cruel and futile experience for beings who are born to reason, hope, create, and love. Man, as a being of sense, wants his life to make sense, and he has found it hard to believe that it does so unless--there is more than what he sees unless--there is an eternal order and an eternal life behind the uncertain and momentary experience of life-and-death.
