About
Been Thinking About Life and Mortality Today is a copypasta inspired by a tweet by Arizona republican Congressman Paul Gosar. It reads, "Been thinking about life and mortality today. I’d rather die gloriously in battle than from a virus. In a way it doesn’t matter. But it kinda does." Gosar added an image from the Korean film The Great Battle in his tweet.
