Live as if you will die tomorrow."<br /><br />I'm not so sure of it, I mean,isn't that how we (in the unitedstate, anyway, Japan too I suppose) wound up with the real estate bubbles, et al? The last part anyway, "Live as if you will die tomorrow."<br /><br />I don't know,... all I can say is, when I depart from the company of friends I always say, "See you later" instead of, goodbye. <br /><br />That doesn't work for atheists I guess. I don't get their, "Everything just goes blank/dark" outlook.<br /><br />In some ways, the puzzled(?) not so "shattered" response from the children kind of supports the idea, "There's more to it than just this life, so it's really no big deal" especially in contrast to the adults reactions/actions.<br /><br />- clarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-9884108983265957442011-09-18T10:32:36.421+09:002011-09-18T10:32:36.421+09:00Mike, Thanks for writing it out and putting it out...Mike, Thanks for writing it out and putting it out.

Thank you for sharing. You can never predict life, can't you? Though I don't know your friend or your son's friend, I just hope the best for their family members. I know how it feels losing someone close to you forever... It's a very hard fact to face.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00569064155636189602noreply@blogger.com
