Well...
Someone I know was involved in a car accident this morning. He died. His life ended. It makes me sad to think that everything and anything he might have wanted to do, or share, or experience...he can't anymore. It's scary to think that our lives can end so abruptly. I don't know why this person's death has affected me so much. In all honesty, I barely knew him. But, I think sometimes you look at something that has happened, and even though it's not really related to you, it changes you and the way you think. He changed me, even though the means of doing so were terrible, and cruel. I can't say I'm religious, that I believe that I can blame the higher power for taking this man's life. I can only say that what happened has happened, and no one can change it. He has made me think...how my life could end tomorrow, or in the next ten minutes. I can only hope that I don't keep things that I want to share, or abstain from things I want to do. I hope the people I love know that I love them, that I have left a part of myself with even one person. Death is real, and we can't predict it. Maybe this is something of a revelation, but I think I want to live as though I'll die tomorrow. To me, it sounds pretty optimistic. To you, it may not. But hey, it may work.
Rest In Peace, Ben.
