Chapter 3
Life?

Subject: Jesse Aarons Jr.
Start of recording:
Life.
What is a life but a dream? We come, we go, and we forget.
Is not a dream, a life? Each new dream gives birth to someone brand new but by the end of the dream that someone dies and we all still forget.
So what is the difference between life and dream if there is no difference?
But there is a difference.
Life is not about you; if it were than it would be no different from a dream. Life is so special is all because it is for others that you live. You live so that you die knowing that everyone around you and including you, have had a hell of a ride with you along the way.
I have wasted far too much time when I had Leslie with me, and now that she is no longer here, what does it matter for me to live for others.
They must remember this. They must remember that I gave my life to them so that they can make each other and everyone else happy; I gave my life so that Jess can get the second chance to make Leslie happy.
We live for others but we die alone.
I go to die for you Les.
End of recording…
While I am working on the next chapter, I have decided to post a little intermission in between chapter 2 and 4 explaining why Jess chose to end his life in order to give life to a new Jess and Les. This is not a full chapter but a mere transition.
As always, enjoy, cheers, have a cup of tea or go outside. The weather in California is lovely this time of the year with the constant rainstorms so go have yourself a hell of good life.
