On the hardest thing

Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle.
- Annie Besant

Here's a youtube video.

How can you win or lose battles if all is a dream? There is nothing to attack. There is nothing to win or lose. Life is like a dream. People come and go. They touch us in some way and are gone. I think she's right that you are setting out into an unknown country, but if it's just a dream in a sense, you can do just about anything without hurting any one and enjoy yourself.

It's just a game, you can have it any way you want.

(And, ah geez, why's it worth arguing with? Nobody's got truth in the bag, and a few lines of text aren't going to cover every contingency.)
