risky earth

i was just reading about the death of Marc Vivian Foe, a well-known football player who collapsed during a football game and was later found unable to be resuscitated. it’s an outdated story though, but the reason i brought this up is because the irony that occurred. By common sense, an active athlete who was practising everyday to develop his strength and fitness should be able to increase his lifespan more than an average person normally has. but sometimes things happen the other way round. surely the world has so much to offer but there’s always a catch that we aren’t able to see.

the point here is how and where can we find the safest place in this world? it’s not only limited to physical places but the ones you’re in at the moment, are you sure you’re on the right track on your way to success? are you sure you’ve made the right decision? are you sure what you are doing is right? are you sure you are always safe? we might be thinking that we have less than 1% chance of getting an accident. it doesn’t matter if it’s on the road, at home or anyplace else. we think we’re always careful and will never experience bad occurrences like the ones we see on tv or forwarded emails. but hey, we can drive safely but there’s always a chance that other drivers might send you flying. we can go to the gym and work out but we’ve heard news of gym goers died of too much exercise. so, how?

it creates a dilemma. but would we choose to stay at home and do nothing just to protect ourselves? no, it’s boring and unproductive. even if we do, we are still at risk – our houses might collapse or we might get hospitalized for eating too much nice foods. we never know. if this gets you thinking, let’s look at the bright side of this difficulty. enjoy every second of your life. we are always at risk, so be it. take it as a challenge we can get pleasure from.
