6. My dear datasuspect...
Yup...that's right...

To be born means that someday, you will die...

Your body will die...

I hope my soul, and everyone's soul, will go on forever...

:hug:

7. the death part doesn't bother me
it's the realization that most of what i do in my waking life is trafficking in appearances.

it's amazing what an individual really doesn't and can't know.
