Start and end are two entities related to being regarded as too extreme the a straight line.
If the school starts and ends at 19 5-6 years, it is also true that with the end of the school, starting university or work. Simply the end of a thing often coincides with the beginning of another: a school-university, or the beginning of a story that ends the period of single, or the end of the time working with the onset of retirement.
there are thousands of examples, but we focus mainly on fear of the end: because the uncertain road scares us and we have gotten used to the old road now with its holes, and we know maybe dodge. None of we can focus on the concept of new beginning ... on the novelty and stimulation. The opportunities it will bring.
We are too scared to enjoy the end of the beginning.
But the opposite also happens: too scared to put an end to things, in the hope that a fresh start to solve everything.
Then you know: there are painful for some or really hiding an unknown continuation as the end of life is perhaps the most striking. The unknown and the suffering related to this end are, quite rightly, really afraid there really is not much to do.
The fact is that our fear of the end, we often preclude the thought that a start can make us open our minds, to give new emotions and stimulate maturation, a process that does not end at age 19 in an examination, but coming to the last fatal moment of our existence .... until the end, in fact. That, in my view, it hides an unknown beginning.
End and beginning are very close on a straight line: the line is not made from the beginning and end: it is long life and near each end, there is a new beginning.
