Had someone killed Alexander the Great ,Genghis Khan, Hitler and many more evil rulers that history has lost their names. Had any man knowing death was in his near future had stepped up and saved many thousands, or millions of lives. Stalin himself is credited with maybe 25 million deaths of his own people but that is pale compared to China’s Mao, that maybe killed twice that many. Both these men were socialist, communist, and pure evil at heart.
What is death anyway? Is it the ending of everything are just the beggining of something else. Even if you don’t believe in GOD, heaven or hell, and you just rot, disappear into dust, what is dust, but matter. If everthing in the Universe is made of matter (except entergy) then everything are made of atoms both alive or dead. This game of life seems much more significant than ourselves; it is more like a computer-generated story that something else can control bending us to the breaking point to see what will happen. I believe we may even be a expermint to some greater unknown society in some far away planet that is trying not to make mistakes that could bring down their happy homes. Who Knows.
Back to the reason for the story, six months to live. What if your belief was so great that you were convinced that a particular ruler or government would bring our nation to its knees, cause our kid’s future to be not unlike any other impoverished third world country in other parts of the world today. If looking through your eyes into the future, you see great hunger , hopelessness, and despair, realizing the country’s future greatness may be in your hands, at this moment in time, would you be able to remove a Hitler or overrun a tyrannical government? If a higher society is pulling the strings, they may be wanting to see how far humans will go before love of honor and freedom means more than life. All peoples both alien and not ,desire freedom.
Note; I never realized the value of freedom of speech until I got old enough to know it has been taken, Facebook,twitter and many groups only allow what they want to hear. I have been blocked not for content, but because people in the know can rid any writer ,they don’t like.
