When you see your life flashing before you keeping it closed might have been the better option. Tom

Makes one wonder Tom, if anything is really clear cut in this life, all figuratively of course, cheers David

You'd better scream as loudly as you can. It may be your last chance to be heard.

If you're treading, your head is still above water.

That’s the dilemma Jenna, if we scream might take on more water and drown, suffer in silence might be advised on some occasions, cheers David
