Exhale

What if the end was upon you?  What would you do in what could possibly be the last hour of your Life?  Would you do all you could to save yourself, and maybe elude death for another day?  Or would you lay down your life to ensure others don't suffer the same fate?  Would you want to be remembered in your ageless slumber  as a savior, to be forever loved for paying the ultimate price?  Or would you rather live in Oblivion knowing that you could have done something to save those you care most about.  YOU have a choice: Die whole, die knowing that the ones you love can close their eyes, and Sleep, knowing harm will not reach them because of your sacrifice.  :Die empty and broken, knowing that you sacrificed it All to see days without meaning nor end.  To die knowing a piece of you is in eternal repose.  This is certain Oblivion.  I often ponder this question.  In fact, the reason I am writing this post is because, after an uncertain number of years, I have finally found my answer.  If I had to end myself to ensure My loved ones could see even just one more sunrise, I would.  The harder question to answer is, would you give yourself up for a complete stranger.   Honestly that's one I can not yet answer.  So I’ll leave the answer for when the Question is asked.  Knowledge Is life but brings you closer to death.  So for now, I think I can wait for the answer to this Question.  For now, I know this, Life is beautiful.  Preserve it, let it flourish, and you may find your key to happiness.
