Pavel Durov

Nobody wants to die.

But when you approach it rationally,

You live and then you die.

There's no such thing as your death in your life.

You stop experiencing life once you die.

So you have to ask yourself this question, is it worth living a life full of fear of death?

Or it's much more enjoyable to forget about this and live your life in a way that

makes you immune to this fear.

At the same time, remembering that death exists so that every day would count.

That's why I love reminding myself that I can die any day.

That one is quite easy.

When I was 11 years old, my biochemistry teacher, he gave me this book he wrote.

It was called The Illusion of Paradise.

And there he would describe the biological and chemical processes that happen in your body once you consume this or that substance.

It was mainly related to

illegal drugs, but alcohol was one of these addictive substances that he covered.

So it turns out that when you drink alcohol, the thing that happens is that your brain cells become paralyzed.

They become literally zombies.

And then next day, sometime after the party is over, some of your brain cells die and never get to normal.

So think about this.
