The message is to LIVE LIFE!!
Bit like the tsunami tragedy - does this mean we should wear lifejackets on the beach or stop taking holidays in a potential tsunami region? I say NO - but how many of the people who died, say, in this event had put off doing the things they dreamed of doing or did not say "I love you" to those closest to them? This is not meant as any criticism of those who have perished or to belittle the bereavement suffered by friends and family.
The message is to seize the day and live life to the full!
PS My dad was still flying when he was 81 years and when asked when he was going to "retire" he always gave one simple answer - "NEVER!"
