For those of us who recall the reason why we wish to leave this existence and for those of us who have just given up. The time acts still until the moment some chancer fills himself with gusto and decides " this is his time". But what young ones should learn and are never taught is to never cause trouble with the quiet slow walking ones with dead black eyes. They may appear as vulnerable but this is simply how they stalk their prey. Talk to and learn from these, you will be surprised, as you find they are not all they seem. For I was you, hotheaded once, and was nearly installed in a stream.
