Me: Thank you very much, Mr. Death, for agreeing to talk.
Death: Thank you for inviting me.
Me: You must know that you get a pretty bad rap here on planet Earth.
Death: Yes, I'm very aware of that fact, and I still fail to understand the bad feeling toward me that seems almost universal. I think that people should reserve their hatred for life.
Me: Why would you say such a thing? People hang on to life for all they are worth.
