“Here or elsewhere, what did it matter? Die today or tomorrow, or later? the night was growing longer, never-ending,” (Wiesel 98).

 

Why should it matter?
Death is coming soon.
It could be any day now.
Today.
Tomorrow.
Maybe the next day.
There is nothing to live for.
Why not just die now?
It will never end anyways.
Not today.
Not tomorrow.
Not even the next day.
So what is the point of staying strong until the end?
