"... what if I'm dying? It seems there is no difference between this 'Life' and 'Death,' for Life begins as 'nearly Death,' and it progresses ever closer to Death until it inevitably dies, truly becoming One with Death; thus, it seems, no difference exists between this Life and Death; though, that is not to say they are the same; it is only to say there seems to be no difference at all, to me, as a Mortal."
