[a stretch of contemplative radio silence follows before Jin Guangyao's reply arrives. perhaps the quasi-Taoist screed he had nearly typed up about defining life vs death when one still possesses 'spiritual cognition' but no pulse yields less value than he had initially thought it would. who knows. he says something else instead.]

Death also looks different in the world where I come from, as does the boundary between what it means to be alive and what it means to be dead. This one wouldn't presume to impose his understanding of such things upon you. This one would instead suggest that, as long as you cannot definitively say "no" in response to that question each day, then perhaps that is reason enough to wait, at least for another day. In this respect, it is always better to have the option to say "no," rather the inability to say "yes."

This one hopes that you find some measure of peace with your thoughts.
