...do you wish for if you have the choice and how old do you wish to die?
I ponder about this since I was kid; I grew up surrounded by death and people dying for different reasons at different ages. Many people think of death as a morbid thing, I grew up thinking it was my best ally, it made me look at the world as a "transit bus" where at some point, each one of us will reach our destiny and get off.
I see people racing their cars on the city streets 100 m/h, skateboarding down the hills into incoming traffic with not hamlet, I saw a guy with sharp pointy scissors trimming his beard while changing lanes on the highway… I call these people the IMMORTALS; I am convinced that they think they are. I’ve known many; I have accompanied them to the cemetery, I’ve seen at the cold morgue and funeral homes and on the streets surrounded by ambulances and fire trucks and curious people like me, and "Death" presenting them to me as an example of my own end.
Is it strange to think that way?

Oh please do not get this wrong! I enjoy life and I am not depressed, I have a lot of friend and I do take risk, this is about what you think. As a matter of fact knowing the presence of death life is easier for me and I don’t take thing too seriously (it is paradox), I am not asking for advice but opinions or point of view about it, and I will choose the best answer to the thoughtful writer., Thank you!

Sorry for misspelling, I write too careless sometimes. Personally I don’t like when people misspell words… my apologies.
