Everyone's Ephemeral

Why everything's no big dealWhat if I told you the actual percentage of people who will die at some point is 100%?

I suppose that comes as no surprise, but according to this table there about 80 ways to check out. This table seems to imply no one dies from getting old. Great news for those who don't want to die from old age, eh?

With that said, why do some people act like they are special and death will never happen to them? That they are immune in some way. Do they not realize that nearly 8 in 10 people will not make it to 65 and beyond?

Would it not be better to live their lives as if this day could be their last?

If society would adapt this attitude it would go a long way in ending greed, indifference to others and all the other things that short sightedness implies.

There was never a building built. A fortune made. A business established. A government formed. A people conquered in battle nor a human that has not perished.

I think a lot of people need to recognize that today is tomorrows yesterdays.And we all know how much we care about them!
