When we’re “young,” most of us probably tend to think that we’ll “live forever,” that a long, exciting, eventful, fruitful and happy life surely lies ahead.
In time, of course, we learn there are many surprises ahead, making life not only interesting but also quite unpredictable.
While heart disease remains the biggest cause of death, until we age somewhat we may not think that is in prospect for “us.”
Cancer is surely the “scariest” cause of death, although it is just the second most common cause.
Of course, there are lots of different kinds of illnesses and disorders that may plague us. And accidents sadly end many lives prematurely.
