The things I want to do, the things I want, the things I wish for... have I ever even had any of those, for at least once in my whole life? I can live fine without love. I will find a way to survive. Dying is hell. Why is living supposed to be hell?

As they drove to meet him, they knocked down a man on the road. He was dying. If they tried to save him, they might miss their appointment.

They did not know that the man they were to meet was the man they had left to die.

We're afraid of failure or we're afraid of success. We're afraid of dying young or we're afraid of growing old. We're more afraid of life than we are of death.
Marianne Williamson
