A Panzerism

Panzer on the human idea of closure:
 
Mom's goldfish Molly died. Mom says she wants closure.
 
Panzer on the human idea of closure
Mom, Molly was a goldfish.*
Humans should understand each moment passes away forever. It's gone. There's no way to enter the past.
 
The past is like water disappearing down the toilet with Molly. She's gone to some unknown and unknowable place.
 
A better place for Molly? Perhaps.
