Mortality

Everytime there is a natural calamity or a terrorist incident like 9/11, I feel closer to my own mortality. I wake up and wonder how fragile and precious life is and ponder deeply about its meaning and question myself about what I have done to make it worthwhile.

Then I recover, reminding myself, I have always known this. I mean, just consider the traffic accidents. Death has always been very near. Why bother with such questions now?
