You never learn to survive until you are faced with death at every turn. To live is no longer the objective. Having a heartbeat is essential to living, and not falling into lifelessness is essential to survival. Death is feared, but so is being dead and alive at the same time, forced to do things you never imagined just to survive. Maybe you're surviving, bu...
The first place anyone really heard of it was large outbreaks in Thailand. No one knew what it was but the government played it off as a life choice via simple operation. But it was more then that.
