I would remain silent, I think an important point about minute silences...

...is not only to remember those gone, but also to appreciate how lucky we are.

There seems to be some kind of romantic notion surrounding Best's life, as if it was some kind of hedonistic, fun-filled roller coaster. I'd estimate that the majority of his days were actually living hell.

I'd take my life over that of Best's every day of the week.
