You're obviously concerned about your own mortality.
Perhaps even facing it like it's an oncoming truck
and you can't move even a single step out of its way.

Here's a few quotes that might cheer you up:

"What fools these mortals be."
	-- Shakespeare

"Somebody up there likes me."
	-- Malachi Constant, from Kurt Vonnegut's The Sirens of Titan

"The pitcher wound up and he flang the ball at the batter.
The batter swang and missed.  The pitcher flang the ball
again and this time the batter connected.  He hit a high fly
right to the center fielder.  The center fielder was all set
to catch the ball, but at the last minute his eyes were blound
by the sun and he dropped it."
	-- Dizzy Dean

"I'm not a crook."
	-- Richard M. Nixon

"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture."
	-- Frank Zappa

"**** off."
	-- Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau.

"Horse sense is a thing a horse has, which keeps it
from betting on people."
	-- W.C. Fields


cheers,
	Tom
