Life is strange. You can be a perfect angel but bad things will still happen to you. You can be the worst human ever but you'll still be rewarded. There truly is little justice in this world where the good people get first and the bad people get last. Oliver did nothing wrong. He was the kind of person who would put himself at risk of harm if it meant helping someone else. And in the end, he lost his life doing what he does best, which was doing the right thing. I'm sure you all wanted to see Oliver succeed. After how people treated him, after how his life was, after everything he had gone through, maybe this was gonna be his break. Maybe this was the start of something new. But as I said, life is strange. We don't always get rewarded for being the good guy. But that doesn't mean we should just throw away our morals. We shouldn't block everyone else out and simply focus on how to make our own life as great as possible. We have one life to live. No matter how long that life is, it is your job to make it an amazing life for you and everyone else. It's easier than you think. Life is too short to hold grudges and be angry. Live your life the way Oliver would. With an open heart and a willingness to help others. Make the memories of tomorrow today. A young man once said, "The last thing you wanna do is look back on life and think 'Why didn't I do that?'"
