In other words, we'll never get away from the Acura coolness in the echo to load. Every soul will experience death. Each and every one of us is inescapable. So we need to prepare for our death.

grief. Sometimes it might be pleasure, but it's accompanied with pain and loss when that pleasure goes away because there's no enduring pleasure The only enduring pleasure we know Assad to add idea is in the next world.
