A lady died at my work today.

[Dead-Inside]

Is anywhere safe nowadays?

My prayers to her family.

A lot safer than they used to be.

I think sudden unexpected deaths scare me more than anything.

[Dead-Inside]

Thing is, anything and everything can be dangerous.

Swimming, boating and fishing, for example. While swimming you may drown, either by passing out (for whatever reason), hurting yourself (losing your ability to stay afloat) or getting dragged under (currents). Boating includes, apart from drowning which is the obvious one, things such as fire and gas from kitchen equipment. Fishing includes injuries (not deaths) from fishingequipment, drowning (mostly currents) and other types of accidents.

And yet, we do these things, especially during the summer, without worrying about dying. If we were to worry, we'd have no lives left to live.

Basically, at the end of the road, everyone dies. If you're lucky, you get to both live the life you want and not die before you feel you're done. If you're done at 40, and then die, then really there's no loss, but you're the only judge of that.

Wow, this was deep. Anyway, I'm not saying she was done with living in this specific case. I'd assume not, as most people would at least like to see 70, but I'm also going to guess she didn't have a lot of time to ponder these what-if questions. Going in a flash is, for me, a lot better than slowly dying during say, a dark night at sea.

And how did the bottom hit her? By comming over the top of her, I assume?

There is always things that can be done to prevent this from happening again. If you're not going to install roll-cages (Not actual cages, just reinforcement) you can have trainingcourses for driving safely.

Life is as unexpected as death is so therefore if we actually worry about death, we worry about our lives.
It's all a personal thing, whether you believe these things are supposed to happen or this was bad luck or something else.

It doesn't matter, how can somebody judge us at that. How can someone simply judge what's good or bad. It can't, our interests and morals are far too complex for that. We're supposed to live here and live through bad and good things. We're here for a reason ? I don't know but what I do know that it's all personal thing which is impossible to imply to everyone.

Example; what if there was a simply box but you don't know what is in it. How can you know if the box is dangerous or not. It can be dangerous or just plain empty. You can decide to leave it alone and consider it dangerous or you can open it. But do we know what happens if we do that. We don't. No one knows only you can decide if you're doing the good thing or bad thing. Only you decide to open or leave it.

This is almost with everything. Choices is what makes your life. Whether you're aware of your choices or not.

Cause and effect.

PS: This is what makes me worry about our world. So many people making arguments about nothing. How can they decide what's good or bad. It's supposed to go this way only the way seems depressing nowadays. Could be caused by the media but who knows. Also this seems kinda familiar like deju vu or something vague of a dream but nevermind that.

Wow sorry for this long post and rant. Shall post /ownopinion behind it.

I would be pretty pissed if my time to go was during a game of golf.

KingFish the difference between your box and death is that if your box is empty, you die. You know this. And if you die, and the box is empty, you won't be comming back. This means that you missed a life full of living and instead just turned to a corpse, and then to earth or ash.

This is why people fear death. They don't know if there really is "another side", "life after death" or "the spirit world". Personally I don't believe in anything but scientific laws, meaning that when I cease to live, I cease to exist as an entity. Thus I should make my time here what I want, what's good for me and noone else. If you do believe there is some form of the above you should fear death less the stronger your belief, but what if you're wrong? People who say death is just another passage of life in somehing bigger shouldn't fear death at all, at any time, because they know, to their own right, that it won't simply end.

This is where "personal" things come in, this is where it's personal. Not opening a box or not.

Life is as unexpected as death

Except you have 9 months to prepare for a new life, death - well, you can never be prepared for death.

[abathor]

Unexpected deaths can occur in so many ways. Do you know about 100 people a year die from slipping on a wet kitchen floor and getting impaled on a rack of knives, forks, and spoons in the open dishwasher tray?

[Dead-Inside]

Worldwide? Doesn't tell me much with no reference frame.
