    Death is also important, it gives life to rebirth, if you don't accept that you will one day let go of your current body, you will spend your whole life trying not to grow up and pass on knowlage of what you have learnt, and eventurly be buried with the answers to a happy life instead of sharing it with the universe.

    We noticed that he said on his own trail, "Some day are we worse than others." WE=mc2, in light of Yang & Yin, notice that George spoke from Yin when he said that. If he spoke from Yang he would've said, "Some days are 'better' than others." It's all there, right out in front of our words.
