Well,I suppose it doesn't strike me as an implausible thing to say that if everybody in the troop got killed and you would have gotten killed had you been there, but instead,the person you hired to take your place gets killed, then he took your place.

The innocent and the beautiful Have no enemy but time; Arise and bid me strike a match And strike another till time catch; Should the conflagration climb, Run till all the sages know.

天真者和美丽者,除了时光没有敌人；,起来，让我划一根火柴,再划一根，直到时光点燃；,假如大火升腾，就奔跑，直到所有圣贤都知道。
