Although my dad will surely role his eyes (thinks I can be a bit dramatic) I will go ahead with this blog. I read this theme in two separate books and one speech by Steve Jobs, all within the span of a few days. (Thanks Allen and Tyson!!)
The theme is that death is a constant companion.
It follows you wherever you go, all your life. You cannot outrun it or hide from it. It is always there, ever patient, ever ready. In the light of this, knowing that you could go at any second most things seem not so important. Is it important that you get that new ipod? Or that when you go to clubs you dont meet anyone? Just doesnt seem that important, does it? Family, loyal friends, work that lets you contribute to the world - these are the important things.
Its not simple enough to live life as though you may die tomorrow. I dont plan on dying tomorrow, nor the next day or a long while after that. But I could. So why be scared/intimidated/timid/content - there is so much to do...
