Terrorists might release a new plague, a meteor might hit us and destroy life, North Korea might decide to nuke us, I could get hit by lightning, I could be shot by a drug dealer who aimed just a bit to the side of his target's head, I could be hit by a bus, I could find out the hard, tragic way that I'm allergic to bees, I might break my ankle and have a clot travel to my brain and get stuck, I could be stabbed to death for the money in my pocket, I could die any time, any place, for any reason.
I don't worry about any of those situations more than the others. If I'm going to die, I'll fight as hard as I can to live, but if I don't make it, I'll leave with the knowledge that I contributed something to the world, and hopefully I'll come back as the guy who finds a cure for cancer or AIDS.
