Lumea de dincolo - si joy of life

Intamplator sau nu, am visat ca ma plimbam prin lumea mortilor, care era oarecum asemanatoare cu plaja din "Lost" - o padure langa o plaja, apa limpede in care am intrat pana la genunchi.

Ged si Arren din a treia carte "Earthsea" pe care am terminat-o in seara asta au ajuns in final si ei in acelasi loc, insa descris diferit..gloomy.

Si totusi mesajul cartii este unul foarte pozitiv -ca sa intelegi moartea trebuie sa o accepti. Iar daca o accepti, inveti sa pretuiesti viata. Fara aceasta "frica", fiecare zi este mohorata.

"Listen to me, Arren. You will die. You will not live forever. Nor will any man nor any thing. Nothing is immortal. But only to us is it given to know that we must die. And that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood. For we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose...
{...}That is the message that those who know how to hear have heard: By denying life you may deny death and live forever!
{...}You were born to power, Arren, as I was; power over men, over men's souls; and what is that but power over life and death? You are young, you stand on the borders of possibility, on the shadowland, in the realm of dream, and you hear the voice saying Come. But I, who am old, who have done what I must do, who stand in the daylight facing my own death, the end of all possibility, I know that there is only one power that is real and worth the having. And that is the power, not to take, but to accept."
