Death Begets Life

From death and nothingness came life, intelligence and energy.

From death, decay and decomposition, comes new, fresh existence.

We walk upon bones and drink recycled waste.

We turn death into life.

We turn corpses into materials for survival.

Pain into painkillers.

Suffering into character.

Graveyards into land.

We nourish the world with our bodies.

Then those bodies, through the world, nourishes us.

We turn the dark into the light.

But in order to create that light, we have always needed a bit of darkness first.

Death begets life.

It always has and it always will.

Death must come first, in order for life to be created.

We live because of the dead.
