choice to live

really quick. i was watching one of the pods on current_tv about a holocaust survivor who was one of the fortunate ones to not die on the gas chamber because he and 95 others made "the angel of death" josef menghele laugh while on their way to the gas chamber. what i took from the piece was what he said (paraphrased). "i don't look at like a miracle or how lucky i am to have lived. i'm living today to make the most of life and to not make anyone's life miserable or hard by complaining or being mad at someone. life is made to be living and not to waste life by complaining about it."
