How will I ever get out of this labyrinth? (2)

[onesqueedgee]

Simon Bolivar said those word shortly before
he died. They may have been his last, and I could see
why he was so lost. The country he had freed now
hated him and he was exiled. He was
in a labyrinth, and he was lost.
Then he died.

I think I understand what he meant. But it is kind of... odd to say that at the end of your life.
I think you could write a very good essay about this.

I think I will, for english 101.
Maybe a narrative
or a cause and effect on how the fear
of an imminent death is what really
scares people and not the death itself.
If I told you that there was a 10% chance you'll
die in the next 20 years you'd probably be ok about it.
But If I said you have a 10% chance of dying in the next
30 seconds you'd probably panic.
