How so? Please elaborate. I'm curious as to how you came to that conclusion.

I had no idea… maybe chaos is with me and not you?

I see you!

Nice get.
Also I think he liken that to the Ring of Gyges from platos republic .

the act of being alive leads to death.

Nope, that was just fucking common sense bro.
Never read the Ring of Gyges from Plato.

If all we have to look forward to is death, then, what do have to look forward to? Don't be so damn nihilistic.

Making a name for yourself that is remembered and carried on, making you truly immortal.

Balance means being both, or in-between absolutes, which isn't possible. Theoretically the only way to be balanced is to break free from the duality that rules the universe, but that's impossible. So, double nigger, choose a side to play for, team life, or team death.

So, being famous is your measure of immortality? Dumb ass. How did Hemingway die again?
