Tragic and sudden death I believe is random. Slowly killing yourself with vice is predestined. So I guess, I believe a little of both. Analog, your comments have caused me to think a lot about how precious and short life is. Thanks for sharing.
Here's a twist on this topic. Have any of you saved someone's life? Once while standing at a crosswalk waiting to cross at an extremely busy intersection, a woman in front of me just started walking directly into traffic. I reached out and grabbed her shirt, pulling her out of the way of a large truck. She never even looked at me. To this day, I don't know if she was trying to kill herself or what. I still think about it once in a while.
