What do we do now?

"Physics tells us that everything on this planet will fail us eventually. Trust someone, fall in love: your scars will tell the same story. Entropy, pain, beauty, love, hope... Mix them together and call it living. The choice that remains is where we go to find meaning and truth. When you're face down at the very bottom of who you are, and there is no formality or pretense to cling to, all your masks fall off... in this broken place, our lives can be seen for what they are... no more, no less; we are ourselves. The question is: What happens after the twin towers in our lives fall? Do we become bitter and hateful or does redemption come into focus? I've been on both sides. Only one is beautiful."
