AWOL Airplane.

This news is scary. It's more than news. It's telling us that we have no control over our lives. We can die any time, at any place. It's telling us that hard work and conscience alone do not mean anything. It's telling us that TO LIVE encompasses not only watching after ourselves but also luck.

I don't want to die. But even if, let's say, I'd mastered my driving skills, I still could be killed by a drunken driver stupidly crushed into my car. Idiots take away people's lives all the time. So do nature. So do the victims themselves.

I don't want to die. I'm young. I have a to-do list longer than the Great Wall of china. But I want to get out of this constant fear of dying as well. At the end of each day, I don't want to be afraid of tomorrow.
