You know why we're not brave anymore? Because somewhere along the way we lost that inner child who cheered us on. We lost the child because the adult saw what was really at the end. "Slow down, maybe we shouldn't run so fast."
This is what facing your death means. It's the same as facing your death. It's the same damn direction. The fearless are the child-like, the jokers and comedians. They who see the brightest because it distracts from the darkest they know all too well.
