On Death...

How many of your friends would you give your life for? I mean, of course we'd say, "All of them!" But seriously, is that true? Say its a split-second thing. Toss yourself in front of a bullet? Yeah, most people could do that. How about a bit longer term? Say (we'll ignore how improbable this is) a heart transplant. Would you be able to keep your composure for several days, knowing that you're gonna die just to keep someone else alive? All your life dreams, wasted? All the people you wanted to know better and closer, all gone? Think over it for a while. Don't just read it and go on with life.
