Of mortality

Sometimes things happen that make you realise how delicate life can be. How precious and short life is. How much you take advantage of those you love and care for, and how quickly things can change. 

You always think that being healthy and taking care of yourself leads to a long and happy life. And sure, for a lot of people it does. But there are still people that are perfectly well, who live a happy healthy life, and yet one day, a lump of blood goes where it isn't supposed to and they just aren't here any more. 

It doesn't matter who they are, how little you know them, even if you've never met them before, such a sudden demise still touches you, it still affects you and the way you see life.
