I can assure you that you and all the people around you are going to die and it will be at a time that is not of your or their making. I think that you are a victim or the easy living of today and don't experience enough of the adrenaline ( probably spelt wrong )rush that results from real set backs such as getting the beautiful girl to an hospital to save her life rather than worrying about what would happen if she died. When you get to our age, you realize that death is only a short way away and if we were to worry all the time about the approaching demise of one or both of us, then we may just as well pack it in now. Just remember that you and I were born into a life in a country or countries that enjoy a good standard of living, we did nothing to earn or deserve such status so we should make the most of it and live it to the full and be thankful for small mercies. This way we should be able to die at peace with the world, can't say that I'm looking forward to the experience! Why do you think and ponder on death?
