All flesh dies, but the essence of the human being is eternal. Eternity is one of those terms human beings can't get their heads around, but it's real and their eternal essences swim in it, returning to new life by their own volition. In "A Life", we examine one such essence through its lifetimes on the planet Earth. This particular essence experiences grave difficulties in overcoming its animality, however, and in life after life it suffers...and yet, it returns. It returns to try again and again. Though not particularly cheerful, we hope "A Life" will be thought provoking...enjoy.
