Yes or no?
@fmf saidExcellent, insightful post.
The airplane crash here on Monday which claimed 189 lives, unlike many of the other crashes that have happened in this country during the years I have been associated with it, caused me some temporary pause for uncomfortable thought.
I'd missed a flight a few days earlier with the same airline, using the same type of plane, from the same airport out of which the fatelful plan ...[text shortened]... inished business, not mine.
Do we not, indeed, glimpse the meaning of life in our fear of death?
I'm sorry for your grazing experiences with mortality: But, not for the wisdoms they've imparted.
The old Japanese saying, "Death is lighter than a feather" comes to mind when I think of this universal query.
The only self-indulgent thing that I might add: Death is as natural as a fallen leaf. And its promise of an atomic-level rebirth, consoles my longing for immortality.
