.......Recognizing the absurdity of death only reinforces the fragility, and therefore the preciousness, of life.
(Confidential to SCM: given the recent camping tragedy in Utah, I've been dying to post "Stephen Colbert was right!" But I didn't think flippancy would be appreciated, under the circumstances.)
OMG, Nova - you and I are sure to burn in the same fiery pit, because that exact thought crossed my mind and I had to mentally stop myself from posting it on that thread! I'm a bit of a bear attack junkie, anway, so I minded my p's and q's.
I agree too, if you hadn't already figured this out, with your observation about death and life.
I wonder if the couple in this terrible tragedy were thrill-seeking a bit. I obviously don't know the layout of the building, but it must have had some sort of guardrail - were they on it?
Please, no one, take my observation as an indication that I think they deserve this in any way. No thrill in the world is worth that!
