How do you view commitment?

Commitment. Hmmm.

The answer is simple and yet enirely too complicated to put into words.

A commitment is kind of like a promise. A promise to do something. Anything, really. Commit to get up and clear a fiend, or commit to fight a war you don't believe in, or commit to loving a woman, one woman for the rest of your liffe...

At this very moment I am commited to a lot of things. I have my business, I have obligations to clients and customers, friends. I am commited to my work, to doing the best that I can.

Most importantly I am commited to Ada who has by some miracle returned to me.

Would you choose to live forever if you had the choice?

As long as I have Ada by my side...

But truly, no. I do not wish to live forever. Life is short for a reason. We have only so many years to live, to do the things we wish to do, to learn the lessons we are meant to learn. Thenit's time to step aside and make way for someone else to live and learn.

I will be content to live as long as I may in this life. That's all I really want.
