This thing about you not getting what die daily means,
Then i kinda tell you what it means, ofcourse not straight out, cos you
would not get that.
But you apparantly also do not get it another way.
So the conclusion is :
You most definately have no clue what die daily means.
And the comment about beginners i leave aside.
(beginning = initiation, so continuously beginning is ?)
Nuby.
