22. What an ordeal!

But...yay!...it's over! Your "lust for life" is such a positive thing!

The only "religious" truth (really a philosophical truth) I can agree with comes from the Tao: "Things change." No matter how bad (or good) it is now....it will change "somehow" in the future. Knowing that the future will be different is a good reason to stick around.
