“It isn’t the battle that scares you the most. There’s no time to think about death. It’s the quiet times before the fight that makes you shiver. That’s when you think about Heaven and Hell and second guess if you’ve made the right decisions in life. Even those who claim there is no God will still pray.”

Nothing is immortal
Educación, reflexiones y cultura general.
Life is a patchwork of moments — laughter, solitude, everyday joys, and quiet aches. Through scribbled stories, I explore travels both far and inward, from sunrise over unfamiliar streets to the comfort of home. This is life as I see it, captured in ink and memory. Stick around; let's wander together.

War make men think. When you are in battle or waiting for the battle. Some kind of final peace must be made.

No problem. I know that a there are some atheists and vocal, but I just want people to know that not all atheists are mean. Vocal people tend to paint a bad picture of a group as a whole. I try to practice the same when I view Christians.
