Son, for all that you love and cherish life, you must remember that death is a part of life. Remember, too, that despite all your power, you'll always be a man- Not a god! There may come a time some day when you face a choice between life and death-- And life may not be the answer. That decision is not yours to make. For not even you will be able to stay the hand of the Almighty.
