Cheesy proclamation of the year

Approximately every five to ten seconds someone in the world dies. This number is not an exact measurement and not purely scientific. Certainly, tragedies can kill millions at a time.

But you are not one of these people. At least not right now. But you will be. Everyone eventually is. Your five seconds of fame will come. How long has it been since you've started reading this? Twenty seconds? There goes two more people. I wonder who loved them, who is crying right now for them. Not you, of course. You're alive.

So live.
Share.
Smile.
And love.

And when your death comes, pat it on the back and joke, "Don't worry about being late. I had a hell of a time."
