Well, It's better to be alive cause, well, if you are dead, you are nothing.
Lets get below deep for a moment:
just think about not living. It's black, it's nothing. Blank. Your world is nothing, you are nothing. Just think about it. Just think if there was no earth...it would be blank. Nothingness, nada, it's blank in the fullest extent. It's sooo blank it's had to imagine just how blank(or lack there of) it is. And then "it" means nothing. soon it's like totally nothing at all, no world, no you, no nothing. It's friggen blank man!
Erm I voted "Quit lookin at me swan"....
