Last night another acquaintance died. The man was not a dear friend but someone I have known for some time and played golf with as well as cards.
He lived his life as a never ending party, he died of a massive coronary after another night of heavy continual partying.
Some would say he died the way he would have wanted to die. I cannot confirm nor deny this to be true as I have never spoke to the dead. I do however find it hard to believe that regardless the level of enjoyment one dies so soon in life with complete content to not see at least a portion of the twilight years.
He is not the first person I have known to die like this and I doubt with any sincerity that he will be the last. I dont sit in judgment of this person or anyone before or after him that passes in the same way, I am merely at a loss for understanding.
Naturally there are those that live life on the edge and they too leave this earth before the journey is complete but somehow taking risk and living for that all intensive adrenalin high seems so much more rewarding than simply living a a chemical life.
Our time is our time and when our time is at its end there is nothing that can be done to change it. We cannot change what we cannot control but can we control what we can change?
