[QUOTE="arkwright, post: 7470568, member: 6925177"] Here's what I've got. [I]"I have a contract, and I must speak on a level my audience understands. Let us be efficient. I wrote a rather long treatise on how best to prepare for death, and for other endings in life. Today, thanks to miraculous bravery, there was no death on your train." "I have been accused of pessimism; for spoiling the pleasures of living by speaking of pains to come. I respect this viewpoint; but, I think it wrong. I do not seek to install stoicism, or maudlin sadness. I seek to help others plan and prepare for their endings- and feel the satisfaction, the higher state of being, that comes with being at peace with their ending. And- the ending is coming. I would not see others turn their joy at life into despair; the avoidance of death is to be celebrated. I merely hope that this happy event does not blind people to their endings- and rob them of the chance to prepare. I leave it to you: please ask whatever you want, and perhaps we can learn something from this event." Damata thinks for a minute, then says "…my life flashed before my eyes; and my future. I saw how I have hurt my family, and my end is coming soon. I guess I should make amends while I have the chance." "I have dealt with this before" Heid says. "Life has many chapters, and if you want the book to end properly, you must choose the path each chapter well too." "Oh." Damata slumps. "It's hard, because I think if I try to fix anything, I'll get myself killed." People in the back of the theatre make furious notes. Damata outlines his predicament. Heid seldem offers answers, but instead asks questions to guide Damata to figure out what matters to him. To have Damata learn to act without fear, having come to grips with the possibilities of how this chapter of his life will end.[/I] [/QUOTE]
