If there is ever a universal topic for everyone around the world to have common ground, that topic is life and death.
That is probably why conflicting or divided people can come together when mourning for the dead, and passersby break into a smile when running into a newborn in the street.
To the universality of the topic, added is the uniqueness of one man, a father, neurosurgeon, and a lung cancer patient. Reading into Paul's narrative--on his scholastic and career ambitions, his dear relationship with his wife Lucy, choice to have a life rather than life support--is as though we get to know a friend.
To someone who aspires to take the scholastic path, Paul's command of the English language and his academic success in areas on both science and humanity stand out, serving as a model and a guide.
As the pages of the book are turned by the hands of its readers, the finite, fleeting account of Paul's life is reanimated.
But it is not just Paul's life. This circle goes on for every human.
Just as the air we breathe was once a breath, and our breath, one day, becomes air.
