Bad things always seem to happen to good people.
One of my friends just passed away today, and he was at the prime of his life. Some freak accident took him away from his family, his friends and his girlfriend just as he was getting ready to finally start working. He had just finished school, and he would've started to look for work by the end of the month or next month. His candle was burning at its brightest, and it was cruelly snuffed out.
The worst thing about these sudden, unexpected tragedies is that it makes you think about your own mortality, and those of the people close to you.
The weirdest thing is that, people who are old and/or are ready to die are the ones who keep on leaving long healthy lives, even after life-threatening operations and other such things. It's really all very strange how life works out sometimes.
When I received the news, I was visiting an uncle who only recently had a heart-bypass operation and is already in the pink of health less than one week after the surgery. The irony is not lost on me, although i fail to be amused by it. Not surprising, considering the circumstances. I also didn't fail to see the irony between the circumstances and the name I picked for this blog.
*sigh*
Life is always either too short or too long. It's never just the right length for some reason.
Oh well....
William, wherever you are, know that your friends will always remember you.
Rest in peace, pal.
