I sit here in my lonely condo playing xbox live, surfing the net and thinking how much my life sucks... I also have a police scanner on my desk that is tuned into the local Fire Dept... There was an accident on the local bypass with one confirmed death... suddenly my life doesn't suck so much...were only a hairs breath away from death...
Someone died tonight...

That is very sad. I know what you mean though about a "hairs breath away from death". I was standing by the ocean today on a very high cliff looking down in to a sea cave (or one in the making) and I thought that one false step and that could be it. Best to live life to the fullest every damn day.

I sure do I'm a truck driver and see them every day... I have come accross many an accident scene. Just tragic how one minute you are on your way to grandma's house and the next your life is destroyed...

It's not even just when someone dies, not to make light of that - but every moment is an opportunity, the question is what is done with it. By that I don't mean you have to literally do something, but it goes back to appreciating life. In just thinking about this forum in the back of my mind the other day I got this feeling like all feelings mixed together, bitter sweetish - don't know if you know it but it's just like every little thing is only here for so long, so appreciate it while it's here. Another way of looking at it is what is really important? How many things would not be worth wasting our time on if we really approached life that way?

It does make you stop and think. I was gazing out a local river tonight--it was beautiful. But a few weeks ago a young man drowned at that very spot--it's hard not to think about it.
