There are only things that I think are beyond reason, well, the perception of one person with another about beyond reason is different. There are people who think that there are apparitions, shadows exist, and that the person who died has the same form. People like that, no matter what logic they are given, they know that they are people who have risen from the grave. Because that's how they like it, people like me can't suddenly accept it, I have to think, I have to examine it, I have to digest it, why is it like this, knowing him like that.
Greetings always compact.
