No, w...I can answer that, from personal experience. No, we do not have a death wish. It's the opposite: we have a LIFE wish. We want to live life to the fullest, far beyond what normal people want. Intensity and quality of life, not mere longevity. What's the point of a longer life if it's unfulfilling? <br /><br />Alex explains in his story how he craves perfection: to do something in life that's hard to absolute perfection. I get that impulse. <br /><br />A second distinction between us and the rest of you is we don't fear death to the same extent. It's a factor, but not one that stops us from doing what we value.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-41208300005866865652019-04-05T18:13:30.861-04:002019-04-05T18:13:30.861-04:00My husband really wants to see this but only reall...My husband really wants to see this but only really arty cinemas show it here and none are ever near us and at the weekends,there are engineering works on our trainline so getting up to London is a pain!Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-18623339279035344402019-04-05T15:32:24.220-04:002019-04-05T15:32:24.220-04:00Looks like an interesting film and a bit crazy!
