Connection I made to the ending of The Great Gatsby

I love the way the story ends. It ends with this line "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."  Because there's so many things you can relate that line to. For example, Gatsby all his life wanted to fix the past and make things right. Then he dies, it takes us back to where he lost her again, only this time he won't come back. That last line does pretty much sums up the whole story. I love it.
