We understand experience through the lens of narratives, narratives which have beginnings middles and ends. Only through closure of an ending do we gain any meaning. An event without end has no meaning. It is the temporary, transient nature of our experiences which gives them meaning. A movie which never ends has no human sense or meaning.
