Neway, am I ready to die? No. Am I afraid of death? No.
Every man must face death once. Then, after that, the judgment.

That's about what matters when you're selling a book, the content is just a bonus. Of course, with aspiring authors, that extra credit has to make up for the failing grade. So, who is writing my book? Am I? Because I can right some good books.

I'm ready to die, as long as it's not by gruesome torture, aye? Do I want to die? No. I have things I want to accomplish.

Personally if I had a loved one who had passed I would want to live forever because atleast I'm garenteed their memory... I HAVE memory, as for what's going to happen after I die? I have no idea. Know what I mean?

I'm not trying to make you feel down, it's just I can bet you any money even if you do see your mom and there is an afterlife of that nature... She would never want to see you, she would want you to live.

When you're old, life isn't necissarily for living, but rather reflecting on what once was in order to make death acceptable. Many people like to feel as though it's never too late to change and make life fullfilling... Personally, I feel like that isn't really true. You can make yourself believe anything, but, to what extend does your subconcious truly support your thinking?

So, are you leading a life worth reflection... Are you ready to die?
