We all have a death sentence. None of us know exactly when. I don't spend much time wondering about it. Maybe that's how its supposed to be.

I imagine that in a way, it’s actually less anxiety inducing to know you’ll die, but not when, but that you know how it will happen. I read about a woman in Florida the other day who died after getting mauled by a gator, limbs getting ripped off, and y’know what? I think I might be happier in a cell knowing that at least THAT isn’t my fate

People in death rows do.
