What is so important to you that without it, life would not be worth living? Why?

[r_dorothy_w]

Only age or voluntary/involuntary destruction would end my existance. As an android, I will outlive most of the people I know now. I have already seen my father and my builder die. Though their passing has made the world a little less than it was before, it was not cause for my own demise. I am programmed to not submit to such sentimentality that I would commit some kind of suicide were I to lose something. No person, no thing has sufficient hold upon me to make me destroy myself.

Much as I love Roger, I could not kill myself to "follow" him. I do not believe in an afterlife. It would make no sense to commit such a foolish act. It would be far better to continue on to carry his Memory to others who never met him. It would be a far more appropriate memorial.
