You have to die to an extent in your hunger for faith, for wisdom, and quite frankly, most people aren't ready to die.” PeopleWantFeelingsPurposeDiesAcceptingChristianityReadyLike YouGeniusConceptsForgivingTrainHungerHardestPurpose Of LifeOffensiveEvaluateReady To DieTrain Of Thought Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
