MY MATE RECENTLY SENT AN EMAIL REGARDING A MUTUAL PAL WHO LITERALLY DROPPED DOWN DEAD AT 40 YEARS OF AGE IN JUNE LAST YEAR, THE CONVERSATION WAS WORTH PUTTING SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN IN MY ARCHIVE MAILS, SO HERE IS THE TALE END OF THIS THOUGHT PROVOKING CHAT........



PAUL SAID.....



I frequently think of Rob and the circumstances he died in / because of.
Very Tragic Indeed.Also pretty worrying.


MY REPLY....

The thing is that some believe in fate, as Rachel indeed does, in that, when its your time to go, it would not matter what you did, if the grim reaper calls then there is nothing we can do to stop the inevitable



Robs death was a blow, I will not ever forget the shock and it has left me in bewilderment and uncertainty that will often make me sop - step back at bit -
and think of my own mortality more.

But there is another theory - the human body, like a computer, is prone to sudden shutdown
like Robs Motherboard (some time back)just going tits up, it had an error, a component failure, and ........
unlike my DVD machine, where it was fixed, Robs Motherboard failed, and stopped working.

That is how I can imagine us, we sometimes just fail, no reason other than a breakdown
of a component in Robs case, his heart, but if its the wrong component, then no fixing will stop what will clearly be the final shutdown.

It should make us sit up and listen to life's threat of we really do not know how long we have, so we should try and make the best of it always, as Dr Vernon Coleman said....

"You wont get another chance at the funfair of life, If you don't try everything now, when the gates close and the rides shut down, you'll be left holding a fistful of unused tickets!"

PAUL SAID....
Agree with your thoughtful message. Amen indeed.

Parts of that message deserve posting somewhere, maybe on one of your sites.
I SAID....
OK done, DA I think.
