“Don’t you see? If everyone kept things from their life in the afterlife, we’d just be moving backward. Right now, your status doesn’t matter. Everyone’s on equal terms. There are no taxes to pay, no class differences. Just a mess of people enjoying themselves. It’s what life should have been. If you let the public know about this—if you take that away from them—well, I’d say you’d be a real asshole, but you already are, and this would put you on a whole different level.”
