Algorithm of Destiny - 2024
People may be in limbo many times in their lifetime. On top of a high mountain, on a deserted island or in unrequited love. There may be hundreds of chances for salvation. However, once a person dies, he is in limbo once. And the wealth of a person after death is never enough to save him from purgatory. There is no chance anymore. And the wealth you have does not benefit.
