Brevity

I read what happened to Chris Henry earlier today and honestly I’m shocked and devastated at the same time. No, I did not know him personally. No, I do not follow the Bengals at all. But, all of that talent at the ripe young age of 26 just being thrown away hits me hard. Several times I have been on the verge of harming myself, which could have and probably would have, made my future nonexistent or preventing it from being as good as it should. But something stopped me. I was allowed to make that decision. Chris Henry didn’t get to make it. Someone else made it. In this case, it was his fiancee for not pulling over. I’m not blaming her in any way because who knows whose fault it really was. To me, that really doesn’t matter.
In addition, it really got me thinking about society as a whole today, especially in the United States. Violence can be seen daily, lives taken for no reason at all. This was an accident and shows that things can happen to anyone at anytime no matter who you are, from a hard working student to a professional football player. As it is, we have enough deaths each year from ‘accidents’, but on top of that we have straight up murders, rapes, and other acts against humanity. Why?
In any case, cliche as it is, live everyday like it’s your last, because it might just be…

December 19th, 2009 at 2:26 amI really should check up on your blog more often because this is some good stuff (well, not a good situation obviously, but good insight). Things like this just make you realize how fragile life really is. It can be there one instant and gone the next. Sometimes it helps just to sit back and think about how good we have it. I mean honestly, what can we possibly complain about? This world is ours, and every person has the ability to shape it and make it their own.
