Fanatic: We cannot take too many things for granted...Imagine [that] if light was never given to us, then we [would] have to live in darkness for eternity, or rather, imagine this, if the next morning you wake up and light has [been robbed] from us forever and [we are in] total darkness, how would you feel? Won't you be afraid?...are you sure that you can leave the world with no regrets? Won't you feel it will be too late by then? Won't you feel any regrets?
Mage: I don't hope, I will it. You are JP, yet you willingly succumb to the wheels. That, I believe, is how you have changed. Do you still even question anything, old friend? I am not sure what comes after death, I can only say that if really there is life after death, life is even more miserable than I thought possible. You keep on saying that you want to spend eternity in heaven. To me, that is worse than the human life I am living. Life is precious and beautiful simply because of its transcience. But you fail to grasp that. To you, eternity seems to be everything.
You keep saying that you are afraid of being an animal after you die. Can I know what is so fearful about that? An animal is not sentient and in many ways, that is a blessing. It doesn't know boredom, not the futility of the world. Every day is just another day.
Wanting to do good to evade the reincarnation into a beast. How selfish the aims are then. Others help simply because they want to help without due consideration of the rewards. That is the truest form of morality. And how can you be sure that the goodness that you have done would tip the scales in your favor?
