We are Survivors

    I started off with this title with some specific thoughts and ideas in mind. Now I must recover them.

    We as humans usually try to live as long as we can. Most of us in the last few centuries never kill another human. Perhaps that is true for most of us for millennia? Most of us do not kill but all of us die.

    Some go way too early, we can all agree. Children and severe health issues, accidents and violence and wars. Take too many too soon. Droughts and famines and pandemics and all the quirky random things.

    Some take their own lives! We know of cases externally, like in the news or in books and movies, then sadly we know those that do this. They coach us not to say "commit", because of the guilt in it, like doing a crime. 

    There are killers. As we speak, those in executive offices and positions who pull the aid and medicine from the sick and dying are killing those poor souls.

    How many of us kill others? Doctors, nurses, health professionals are credited for saving lives. Not all can be saved. Some people are destined to die fast and young, or slow and old. All of us will get there.

    But, the idea is to make a good, long run. My Uncle Harry made it past his 100th birthday! Amazing. His wife, Aunt Marjorie, was only 70 or so. Harry lived 25 years past her.

    He was a survivor, for sure.

    

    Some die in war. I re-started War and Peace, which obviously includes the travails and tragedies in conflicts of bigger natures, beyond smaller domestic disputes and random or sometimes intentional crimes and homicides. Death and killing occur at a greater scale all too often and commonly, we can surmise.

Get to work.

   I did get to work, then I got a UTI and spent the last two days dealing with it.

    I spoke to my wife, my everlasting love. She is amazing. A tinge of melancholy touched her.

    We talked.

    I declared my undying love for her (well, in a way) by promising her better years ahead.

    And goals.

Why not daily or weekly questions?

    I will share on our new app. What is that? Precisely.
