It's the feeling of randomness that always stops me in these news.

The point of my post was to express that you do not know if you will see the next sunrise so you might as well enjoy your life and not allow petty things to hinder you.Excluding of course the person who does have some terminal illness that has a general idea that they will pass way.

I felt that my original post expressed this.

No worries we where saying the same thing just using different words.

True words for sure. That's why I'm living each and every minute as though it were my last because for me, it could very well be. But that can be said about every living, breathing entity on the planet.

Most people don't think about mortality until they come close to it.
Once you come face to face with it and accept it as inevitable, then you can truly start to live. Those poor fellows in that plane were fortunate in the sense that it was one big rush before the lights went out. My main fear about death is lingering on the edge for a prolonged period of time and not being able to get up and do things.
