seven lives = one death

Dan 2022-03-20 09:01:17

Some people say that people are born with an average weight of seven pounds, and some say that seven pounds is the weight of donated organs.
Maybe seven pounds really means the birth of a new life, maybe seven pounds give seven strangers a new life.
In any case, for TIM, these seven pounds have become a burden that weighs him down, a tumor in his heart.
Born, it is anxiety and pain, self-blame and guilt, with such an unsound mentality, his sound body will be destroyed in a short time.
Death, although nostalgic and unwilling, is more contentment and happiness. With an imperfect body and a healthy mind, he lives forever with his wife and the seven strangers who have passed away.

I have also thought about the "what if" question countless times: If one day I learn that I have a terminal illness, how will I choose the remaining ten months, or ten days of lifestyle.
Will I accompany my loved ones every minute, or leave alone?
Will I take revenge on a mortal enemy, or help a stranger?


To live means to be unwilling to die, but to have nostalgia in my heart, and even more unwillingness.
Students, always live with ideals and passions.
However, for suicide deaths, it is a pity that more people's original intention is to save, but not to save.

Wait with EMILY for the beeping of the pager.
There is a weak heart, waiting for you to rescue!
Watch the sea with a blind pianist.
There is a blind man waiting for you to tell him the color of the sea.
