"4 years later, and I am back reading this book. Thoughts on the first 2 chapter; athiesm sucks. How can one live life and keep pushing amidst all of the disgusting things happening around us when they don't believe that there is any reason for our suffering? How can one really continue living? And my question to athiests is do you have it in you to change your views, or do you want to refute the existence of God only" — Feb 06, 2026 04:24AM

“Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it's often one of the great motivations for living. Some of us, in time, become so conscious of it that we live harder, more obstinately, with more fury. Some need its constant presence to even be aware of its antithesis. Others become so preoccupied with it that they go into the waiting room long before it has announced its arrival. We fear it, yet most of us fear more than anything that it may take someone other than ourselves. For the greatest fear of death is always that it will pass us by. And leave us there alone.”

“as a doctor, you have a sense of what its like to be sick, but until you've gone through it yourself, you don't really know. it's like falling in love or having a kid. you don't appreciate the mounds of paperwork that come along with it, or the little things. when you get an IV placed, for example, you can actually taste the salt when they start infusing it. they tell me that this happens to everybody, but even after eleven years in medicine, i had never known”
