"Ichigo, what's the difference between a King and his horse? I don't mean kiddy s*** like 'One's a person and one's an animal' or 'One has two legs and one has four'. If their form, ability, and power were exactly the same, why is it that one becomes the King and controls the battle, while the other becomes the horse and carries the King?! There's only one answer; INSTINCT!" ~ Ichigo's Inner Hollow from the anime/manga 'Bleach' by Tite Kubo

As winter changes into spring
which changes into summer
which changes into fall
which changes back into winter.
As people are born and loved
only to die and become forgotten.
We claim that everything is in a cycle that lasts forever
but we also say that the end is near.
However, what is the real truth?
Is everything truly in an endless cycle
or will it all just stop one day?
Unfortunately, even with all of our science and math
with all of our literature and arts
we are no closer to finding the truth
THE REAL TRUTH
