“...What’s the purpose of an eternal life when you lose everyone and everything you love? What’s truly the purpose of that?”

“I guess you feel it when you reach some sort of pleasure?”
“True. I’m suffering from the fear of losing happiness. The fear that the moments of joy to be taken away from me and be replaced by a tragedy”
