Convulse

Life is suffering, and suffering is samsara. The arc from Soul to Flesh, from Flesh to Artifice, and from Artifice to Oblivion is the existence of Man: a humble birth, a tortured journey, and an ignoble death. And that arc continues, until the eventual rebirth of the Soul — the inevitable emergence of new Life. May we hope that this cosmic cycle will be broken by our successors, who might retain the Soul while gaining Flesh, and who might cherish Flesh while wielding a newfound Artifice of their own. While yearning, our fate is to be consumed by Flame, illuminating our place in the dark universe for one fierce but glorious moment, burning to ash in our accursed desire to be made our own slave and tool.
