We all know life is short. And the older you get the shorter it becomes.
I think when people you care about die, it makes you think of a few things...
have you done enough in your life? Have you wracked up enough experience as we remembered that person?
Why am I not living life to the fullest?
For the most part, we should all be living the second part of this statement much more. Which is...why aren't you living life to its fullest. Regardless of your financial state.
Answer: We forget how short life is.
Which is not to say we don't know how temporarily we are here. Perhaps some people realize how banal their existence is. Even with all those experiences, when you die, that goes with you. If you're spiritual, I'm certain it means a lot more.
Senseless death gets me more. Which when a young person passes away, a lot of times it's not from natural causes. So, they are willing the hands of nature to take them away.
Now, the importance of everything you work towards in life is summed up at the end. Did it matter?
Seems to matter to the people that are left behind.
