Neither are suicide bombers, for they are told of an afterlife.
Is there an afterlife? I certainly hope so, but I don’t know for sure… and neither do you, nor do suicide bombers or those who fly planes into buildings.
Since there is no evidence of afterlife, I have no choice but to assume there is none.
And for that reason, I want to make the most of THIS life.
Yes, there is an afterlife, I know there is. How do I know?? B/C I died, I was in the hospital for seven days. I had cpr done on me. I coded a coupla times. Ive been shocked to repolarize my heart, I know what it feels like, Ive had that surge go through my body. Ive been to the other side and I know what it means and I came back to share what I learned. Is there an afterlife, yes there is, I am proof of that, Im all the proof you need. Why? B/c I am alive right now therefore there is an afterlife.

Why do people have to die for freedom?
What caused these wars that people died in?
For someone that claims to be a visionary philosopher you make me laugh b/c you have no answers, only questions. I am the only one willing to put forth the answers, does that make me a visionary? I dont take that title, I am what I am but I dont have to ask questions b/c I fear death. That is why you are a coward b/c you would rather live than die for something that you believe in. You believe in your own life but you dont believe in freedom so you dont get it do you? Like I said, there is a word for your attitude and its not visionary philosopher. You have been measured and weighted and found wanting!
You want answers?
KAFFEE
I think I'm entitled to them.
JESSEP
You want answers?!
KAFFEE
I want the truth.
JESSEP
You can't handle the truth!

Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have
to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You?
You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than
you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you
curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the
luxury of not knowing what I know: That Santiago's death,
while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while
grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
(beat)
You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you
don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need
me there.
(boasting)
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words
as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You
use 'em as a punchline.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself
to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very
freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I
provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on
your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and
stand a post. Either way, I don't give a d**n what you
think you're entitled to.
