[The more Joshua listens to what Korra's saying, the more he sees how it parallels a decision he'd made about his own world.]
The cycle of death and rebirth, a very common theme in mythologies in my world. The phoenix who bursts into flame at the end of its life, only to reform in its ashes as a chick, is the more famous story. It's a story that continues even in the modern day of my world, though. People who'd died trying to survive a week playing the Reapers' Game and regain a second chance at life at the end of it.

Change is what makes life move, makes it unique to the person who lives. We need chaos as much as we need order. At the same time, it's why we have conflict. How can it not?
It does make it hard to see the bigger picture beyond the world we came from. It affects not only this one and the one we know, but the countless other worlds that exist. The reincarnation of the worlds may mean that we come right back to the war between order and chaos. It's the side-effect of free will, isn't it? Even gods are chained to this never-ending cycle.
I wonder if, perhaps, the true goal the Unseelie are working towards is the one that frees us from the cycle permanently. If they wish to throw us into a final death in which there's no coming back from.
