Answer to Inty's bombshells
1. Would you like to be immortal? Why and why not?
I AM immortal. The indescribable "thing" that is ME is, was and will always be immortal. This "thing" is a part of divine eternity.
As for my physical body, no I do not wish for its immortality. It is a shell where I am meant to be in this place and time. By and by it will rot and I will have no further use for it.
2. Is there anything important enough to risk your life for? If yes what is it?
Yes. Honour.
3 Is there something you've dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven't you done it?
I have dreamed of becoming a writer, painter, musician, F1 driver. Except for F1, I have tried doing them all. Found that I was no good.
F1 driving I will do as and when the opportunity knocks.
