It is said that it’s against people’s beliefs (religion) for a proper death. Playing God is a huge deal to some religious people and believe that you shouldn’t decide the faith of your death. Alternatively it’s your life that you’re living and God would want you to be happy. He is to love you no matter who you are or what decisions you have made.

As time passes, these countries are beginning to find a reprehensible common ground on which to operate with each other, such as the Shia majority in Iraq and Iran.

provisions clearly in mind. I once spent almost two years writing a book on public speaking and yet I found I had to keep going back over it from time to time in order to remember what I had written in my own book. The rapidity with which we forget is astonishing. So, if you want to get a real, lasting benefit out of this book, don’t imagine that skimming through it once will suffice. After reading it thoroughly, you ought to spend a few hours reviewing it every month, Keep it on your desk in…
