I do not want to die. Although the world abounds with death, from accidents or illness, I will avoid it with all my might and live as long as I can.
(Perhaps this is too obvious to say...)
But what is the reason for this attachment to life, which amazes even with it's strength? After all, I do not have a reason to live.
This, I am sure, is the barbarism within me.
