This is my first time attempting the #augustinleo daily prompt and that is because I just found out on someone's wall and decided to write about it because today's prompt seems fun to write about.
Well, I have thought really hard about the options given, and seriously as much fun as it is, the same way it needs critical thinking.

The blue pill is supposed to be used to bring someone back to life and I should be glad I have the opportunity of bringing someone back to life but the truth is I am not sure I would want to do that. So, nope, I will not choose the blue pill not because I don't have someone to bring back to life, as a matter of fact, I have a lot of family or people I would have loved to bring back to life, but then, I would choose not to because it is not my choice to make but theirs.
What if, I end up bringing them back to life and they tell me they would have preferred to be dead than alive, especially with the struggles and challenges everyone is going through what if they actually died for a good cause, so you see, as much as I would love to have them in my life, I would very much choose and prefer that they rest and dead from the world and all the hassle that comes with living.
The what-ifs of those people who wish to bring back life are so much in my head that I realized that it would be a selfish act on my part to want to bring them back to life, to do what exactly? As much as I want them back, they are gone and the truth is I need to learn to accept the reality that those people are no more and just maybe they too, have accepted their reality which is, that they will never be waking up ever again we will never be seeing each other ever again.

So, the red pill is supposed to give me an everlasting life and yeah, I am happy and wouldn't mind choosing that but I would pass that too because why would I want to take a pill that will give me an everlasting life while I watch my family die one after the other and I am left in this world all to myself.
There is a difference between an everlasting life and an eternal life, so, maybe it is nice doing the everlasting life but it sure is going to be a lonely place living forever and maybe aging and going through one sickness or the other while I suffer the pain or maybe the everlasting life entails not going through sickness and not aging but it is sure going to be a long life all alone in this world and listening to the daily horror and hazards happening or living in constant fear of what might happen or not happen.
I think those who die have a better rest than we do, they don't have to worry about the daily things we worry about and the challenges and struggles some of us are going through, and they don't have to be in deep thought about how to get out of one thing or another, I just believe they are resting or sleeping and have nothing to worry about what is going on in this world unlike us. Don't get me wrong, I know we have a better chance than they do in life choices but the truth remains that we all are going to die one day
Even when we are afraid of death, it's going to happen one day, nobody prays for death or maybe some do but my point is I would not choose to take a red pill for everlasting life either because it is going to be lonely and miserable for me while I watch my friends and family grow, age, die and be buried. What then is everlasting life without my folks? I guess it is most miserable. Lol
