Quote by George Gurdjieff

Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.

Summary

This quote suggests that humans have the potential for an existence beyond death. However, it highlights the distinction between mere potentiality and the actualization of that potentiality. In other words, while the idea of an afterlife may be plausible for humans, whether or not it becomes a reality is a separate matter. The quote implicitly emphasizes the uncertainty and unpredictability surrounding the fulfillment of this possibility, suggesting that it is not a given certainty but rather something that may or may not come to fruition.

You reminded me of a mermaid, your skin all shiny, your lips so full compared to the harshness of your angular cheekbones and pointed chin.
