Carpe diem
With the deepest of respect to readers, and family of the man involved...
We're all going to go, and soon. If I die at 85, that's only 40 odd years to go.
I'd call that 'soon'. And not enough.
Don't give in to the inescapable finality of it all. Bollocks to that. When, where and how matter little. Every single one of us need to get out there and 'do', now.
Like that HK guy said so very well...you know, about the bell and all.
Deepest respect to his family.
