Agree to disagree.Love itself dies.Bonds fade or change.In the grand scheme of things,Even the loved ones you think you have right now would cease to exist one way or another,one day.Espiecally if you live long enough. So,death is the only thing that gives meaning to the present,In my view.Having said that,I don't want to come across as a death worshipper. or something.I just value the present as something precious.
Sure as said,as long as the story is good and enjoyable.Maybe something to revisit as a reader.
