On Peaks, Valleys & Gluttony

R: "Yas, you're going through a quarter-life crisis."

H: "Yasmin, be careful about eating so much, you're reaching your peak and then after that your metabolism is going to slow down."

T: "Yeah Yasi, you definitely look older than your age--it's like you don't even look like a college student anymore!"

N: "Remember when you were 18 I kept telling you that you were 2 years from 20? Well now you're 2 years over 20--wow, you're over the hill Yasmin!"

Conclusion: I'm old, rickety and aging. Alhamdulilah.

Question of the day:
Courage or stupidity? War is declared and you are part of a regiment sent to battle. Before leaving it is agreed no man is left behind, dead or alive. Time comes for battle and one of your men gets shot and is severely injured. The rest of your regiment is running away in the opposite direction but you instead run to save your friend. As you are rescuing your man, you too get shot and killed leaving you both to die. Courage, or stupidity?

"If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up?"
