the point(s) of it all

between here and there, this and that, starts and ends, life and death, it's only fair to ask—what's the point? what's the point of it all? the point is, quite literally a point, or many points on a line. each point leaving an indelible mark on the places we have been, people we have met, lives we have touched, love we have given and received, and societies we have shaped in ways big and small—their sum total making a ripple and reverberating through time, time and space that ultimately survives us.
