An apple is an apple and a pear is a pear. Period.

Before speaking about final questions there are second last questions.

Before death there comes life, before awareness awakening, before resonance dissonance, before (n) there comes (n - 1).

Before ascension there comes descension, before knowledge emptying, before a voice there is silence.

Before happening there is letting go, before unity separation, before bread there is wheat ears.

There is movement and there is stasis, before and after, hiding and revelation, appples and pears.

There is the human and the senseless.

Nothing beyond the human makes really sense unless it is understood human - then the senseless fades into the human.

It is the fate of humans being human and separate apples from pears.

And a second to last question might become a last question within a blink of an eye...
