Consider this syllogism:
The devil needs less.
He who needs less is rich.

In a matter of a decade I have encountered death through the loss of loved ones four times. In these encounters, death revealed its faces to me in various ways. I believe that the way I live today and the manner I see tomorrow are very much affected by these experiences.
