For the very first time in my life,i have seen how death is so very real.yesterday at the gym,i watched as a man lay unconcious on the floor,on the verge of death.the paramedics were there to try and resuscitate him,a medical doctor was there to try and save the man's life.it was like a scene from the movies.it was reality,yet at the same time,it was all so surreal.i watched his wife's face.the helplessness,the fear and that little bit of hope that he will be alright.and i couldnt watch anymore.it was all a bit too much,too painful.

Its scary to see a life slip away like that.to watch someone lie helpless on the floor.its not only sobering.it makes u think.makes you want to appreciate what you have not.it makes you want to make sure you do that one thing that completes your life.
