Infinitos.

“There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”  

Existen infinitos más grandes que otros, pero ninguno es interminable. Vivimos en una sucesión constante de eternidades que terminan antes de comenzar la anterior. Vivimos como si los finales no existieran, como si al despedirnos existiera algo mas allá. Pero incluso las eternidades son efímeras. Y es la única certeza con la que contamos.
