I don't plan on letting you die, either. I'm non competitive, and because of that, would probably really suck at team sports. I don't believe in races or crap like that as a measure of who's better than who. I guess the same would go for tests. I don't think that tests are an indication of anything in particular except for the ability to take tests.
Most people take themselves way too seriously.
I don't think I take myself seriously enough. After a The Great Hair Tragedy of 1998, my hair is finally at a normal length. I am only letting it grow because I am hair challenged. I do not play well with hair. I can have it up or down with nothing in between.
