"at least if he knows he will be frozen he will die with a shred of hope. ‘‘Other people have no hope,’’ King said."

I've always found it interesting how for most people and in most religions the hope is to be resurrected, go to heaven, and/or live forever, while in Buddhism the point is to escape the cycle of death and rebirth.

It's a completely different approach, which sees more life as something to be avoided rather than desired.

I'm Buddhist and I'm currently happy with the "cycle of death and rebirth" for now. I have infinite time, after all. And this Human game is fun for now.

Buddha shows the path forward; I'm walking slow.
