Men
choose to die for a lot of reasons.
Some prefer the valor of the battlefield.
Others lose all in heroic acts.
Some die for love or money or fame.
Many die for pride or honor.
But take any of these from a man and he dies for other reasons.
Shame. Hate. Loneliness. Poverty. Cowardice.
One
of the most tragic ways to end life
is when a man chooses not to live.
And sadder yet is when he dies slowly for years
while only existing.
