What if the Winnower dies?

If we were to kill the Winnower, then would we not cease to exist?

Is it not a double edged sword?

Surely, due to the Winnower and the Gardner being 2 opposing, yet directly linked, forces of nature that exist beyond the confines of the Universe, if we were to 'kill' it, would it not bring disaster?

If it is even possible to 'kill' it.

Or would we have to take its place?

As a Universe without death, without a reaper, would ensure that there is no end to suffering.

People would live, live and continuing living for eternity without mercy.

Is the Winnower not required? A necessary 'evil'? As using the metaphor for a garden, if you were to let a garden continue to grow, it would fester, it would spread and become a host to an unknown number of 'pests'. It would grow, out of control.

What do you think?
