We're all fragile ephemerals. A slight blow in the wrong place, an artery clogging, a heart skipping one beat too many, a weak spot in a blood vessel in the brain, a cell starting to multiply on its own, a 1cc small lead projectile invading our rib cage, breathing obstructed for only a minute or two, a motorcycle just not making that bend, ..... and we're history, no matter how strong our muscles, how healthy and fit we are otherwise, how immortal we believe ourselves to be. Carpe diem.
