Oh I didn't mean it like that!

I was just trying to sound very official. Don't take anything I say seriously, ever. Ever.

Life is an experience that your brain tries to make sense of but never will.

It is full of every single human emotion you can think of, both positive and negative but ultimately it is a slice of luck and chance.

I abhor life with a passion but I also embrace it with open arms.

It is what it is and it can be taken away as it is given freely.

look, people have had brain transplants before

of course the personality would go into the donee

Wow that was a dead on great response. To actually try and make sense of it is ludacris, as it will never happen. Although one can certainly end in a much better position than one started.
