Life and death

Life is too short.  I am watching the news right now and a famous actor has passed away early in life.  It is so sad how life is fleeting.  It seems as if we are here today and gone tomorrow.  We cannot take anything with us.  Death seems lonely yet it can be liberating.  We live in a temporal world where there is pain and suffering.  Yet at the same time, death is about loss.  We mourn those who are gone.  We all hope that they are resting in peace and that their loved ones will be provided with comfort.  Death is sad.  Life should never, ever be taken for granted.  Tomorrow has its own evil thereof, but today is a gift.  That is why it is called the present.
