Re: Devastated

As we get older, it seems death gets closer. The young who are "devastated" by this seemingly must have been sheltered and they think that everyone is immortal (or should be). We're not. No one gets out of this life alive. Some go unwillingly, others do it to themselves. And there's those who were in the wrong place at the time being healthy and with their whole life in front of them.

It's sadness all around when the great and the not-great die. If some of these "devastated" people would look beyond the celeb crowd, and maybe at someone they see regularly but never talk to, the world might be better off. There's too much hiding behind the computer/smartphone and not enough real human face-to-face interaction.
