&quot;It&#039;s a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between you teeth, but you don&#039;t give it the power to do its killing.&quot; --Augustus Water, The Fault in Our Stars<br /> &quot;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are LIfe, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.&rdquo; --Declaration of Independence<br /> &ldquo;I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.&rdquo; --Thomas Paine, The American Crisis<br /> &ldquo;...the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph...&rdquo; --Thomas Paine, The American Crisis


Death: What is it?
Is it simply going to another place--
the lack of life--
the hopes for a journey into another world--
being brave enough to venture to peace--
what is death?

Life: What is life?
Is it enjoying every moment a person has to enjoy--
the ability to be free and do as one likes--
the want to be better--
the world in which we are strangers for we are God’s people--
what is life?

As people, we go from B-D
Birth to death:
We all wander what is in between B and D.
The alphabet suggests it’s C
--Choice--
life’s a--Choice--

So what is life?
What is death?
Life, Death?
It’s a choice on how to live and to die.
It is choice to follow God who has all the power






--and not worry bout tomorrow’s wonders.

Life, Death?
It’s a choice to live well and never let bad things get you down.
It’s a choice to be the person you always wanted to be.
It’s a choice to love or to hate.
Life’s a choice.
Circle of life--a choice.
