If people knew the story of their life how many would elect to live them?

I think that many would not and many would it all depends on that persons story and what that person is like. A courageous person with a horrible story might still decide to live and experience it while a person faint of heart might choose not to. If the life looks good many people will decide to live it out. One example of a life that a person would choose not to live is in the book when the man and the boy find the charred newborn on a stake over a fire. It’s only a guess but I don’t think I would have ever wanted to live if I were that newborn. Most lives today are lives worth living. In fact when you think about it most lives are worth living. It’s your one shot, no one knows what happens after death many people believe certain things but no one has ever come back from the dead to tell us what actually happens. Life might be your only chance to think, dance, play, smile, or well, live. The boy and the man in the book understand this somewhat and strive to survive when they could just as easily give up and die. They are a prime desire of humanity’s desire to live. I think that many people would choose to live, I would.
