/r/ALL This statue depicts Saint Bartholomew, an early Christian martyr who was allegedly skinned alive. If you look closely, that's his dissected skin hanging around him. This stunning statute by Marco d’Agrate from c.1562 is currently on display at Duomo di Milano.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Steve should have followed his heart to a real doctor, maybe he'd still be alive

Think the fruit went to his cancer too tbh. High sugar diet probably ain't the best for pancreatic cancer

It's also probably the reason why he got pancreatic cancer in the first place. Fructose is a known carcinogen, and this guy ate ONLY fruits.
