Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, etc., and the less we think about it the better. ↗

If the children, don't grow up our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up, we're just a million little gods causing rain storms turning every good thing to rust. I guess we'll just have to adjust. ↗

If Christ is God, He cannot sin, and if suffering was a sin in and by itself, He could not have suffered and died for us. However, since He took the most horrific death to redeem us, He showed us in fact that suffering and pain have great power. ↗

Well, he us a nab, he is mortal, death comes to us all, etcetera, and consequently he would have died anyways, sooner or later. Or to look at it from the social point of view - he's just one man among many, the loss would be well within reason and convenience. ↗

...izgleda daleko sve što treba da se desi, i sasvim nestvarno. Duboko u sebi vjerujem da se neće ni desiti. Znam da hoće, ali se nešto u meni smješka, opire, odbija. Desiće se, ali je nemoguće.Ono što znam nije dovoljno. Još je suviše života u mome srcu, i ne pristajem da shvatim. Možda i zato ovo pišem: nisam klonuo, otklanjam smrt. ↗
