Brain,
Im not quite sure what to say to someone like you. Your grandfather didn't deserve to die over there. I do not agree with one single thing that you have said, but im not going to waste my time being condecending to you because frankly; what for? I am not some kind of soft and sensitive pussy, Im just a regular guy, and I can say that I am truly happy in life. Im not sure that you can. Do I hate you for the things you say and think? No. Do I pitty you for them? Absolutely. Someday when you are laying on your death-bed it will hit you. You will realize that you have somehow gone through your entire life and you haven't done a damn thing. I feel sorry for you because I think you have missed the whole point. I want to thank you. Seeing everything that you wrote has reminded me and reinforced in me that I wanna use my life to help people that are in need - even hungry children.
