DV’s
1. Life and death are not binary opposites. They are 2 ends of a continuum and people can occupy the space between them.
2. Death is not a solution but rather facing up to the truth about the limitations of life.
3. Appreciate life only after experiencing death. Enjoy pleasure only after suffering the pain after a fall. (One only appreciates what you have when you don’t have it anymore.)
4. Death= new understanding of life
5. Dying is living again.
6. Until one appreciates the meaning of life and death, one is hungry.
7. Living in Death, Dying in Life

I realized that I didn’t know how to make my life as perfect as a work of art. But it doesn’t have to be Sarah, it’s a lot better than a screwed up death like this.- Gwak
