Our Lives Are About Development, Mutation And The Possibility Of Change; That Is Almost A Definition Of What Life Is: Change... If You Disable Change, If You Effectively Stop Time, If You Prevent The Possibility Of The Alteration Of An Individual's Circumstances — And That Must Include At Least The Possibility That They Alter For The Worse — Then You Don't Have Life After Death; You Just Have Death.
