There is an ancient Greek legend that speaks to life.
It is about the River Styx and the ferryman who carried passengers to the land of the departed souls. One day as the legend tells it, a woman about to be ferried across the river is told by Charon, that is her privilege, by custom to drink of the waters of the river and forget everything that happened in the life before.
And she asks, “I drink of these waters, will I forget all my suffering?”
“Yes” replies Charon, “and you will forget all your joys.” “And if I drink, will I forget all my failures,” And again she hears the answer, “Yes, and you will forget all your triumphs, “
“And will I forget all how much I have been hated?”
“Yes,” is the reply, “and you will forget how much you have been loved.” “Then”, she says with a voice firm and a mind made up “I will not drink.”
