Argument: Death is defined not only by what is causing it but how the individual handles the strides of it.
Claim: The disease pales in comparison to how the person chooses to live their life.
If a person is encouraged and allowed to act negatively, they will be so.
Finding the passion in something to throw oneself in is more valuable then giving up or submitting.
