Life is really short.

in #friends7 years ago

Reflecting on this plane ride home from San Francisco to Austin.

On Anthony Bourdain’s suicide. On relationships I’ve made because of Steem. On family.

Sometimes there’s hurt. Sometimes it’s hard to be present. Some times it’s hard to see our friends’ pain.

‪Life is really short in the long view.

So if we care, then we should try to connect and understand.

You may not know I’m thinking of you, but I am. And value our time together, ideas we’ve laughed over and think of you smiling.

Thanks, for this @Ned. Bourdain’s news hit me hard, too, and had me thinking about mortality.

Here’s a short appreciation that I posted, today:

Yeah my friend, a boss @ned. Life is too short to be grumpy all the time, life is too short to be a sadist, life is too short to be antisocial, life is too short cause life itself doesn’t know when it will end.

OMG! This is the first time I heard about Anthony. That's very sad. :(

Nice post. Hope you had a fun time in San Fran.

indeed sir ned

Very well spoken! One should never neglect the real importance of the people that cross our way. Might it be for a long or short period of time only, every single moment contributes to the person you are today.

very sad. suicide is not the solution.

62 years is not a short time, imo. Although, it's also, not long enough. He's not even at the retiring age in most countries.

Speaking about how we feel, if something is wrong, should be as normal as complaining about if we have psychical problem. Time and education will get this to the level it needs to be. @ned

Unfortunately it is too short. So we should do what we do in shortly time.
