If life itself turns everything you gained into something to look for then i think two choices remain to be made. Mourn for what you are about to lose or fight and make it yours again, make it clear. Then again there are those who think that choice is an illusion in this muddy world for life makes us face difficult situations with insurmountable variables. Well i believe that choice is not something to be underestimated and the real request here is why we give up so easily when we come in touch with the weird and problematic nature of knowledge.
