When I die, I will return to the cosmos like I have done before. My journey has begun there time and time again. These cycles are opportunities for us to enjoy this wonderful world that we call Earth. To descend down and live a new life, with new challenges, is helping our spirits to understand the knowledge we have been given. Knowing everything in the universe is one thing, but the ability to live and expand on our knowledge is something utterly amazing. Every life brings forth new joys and sorrows, because what is a life but a cycle of ups and downs. You are only able to recognize how happy you are if you have experienced sadness in your life. Your drop into sadness lets you see your happiness level is at your choosing. So, experience it all and enjoy your time while it lasts, because this is just one life, of many, that you will be a part of.
