When it's your time, it's your time. And no amount of pills, potions, procedures or anything else matters.

How would we know if someone died before or after their time ?

When they die, it's their time. Simple.

He died doing something he loved and as a hero.

It's sad..but I can think of much worse ways to die.

That's not what I'm asserting.

I am asserting that when it is your time, it is your time and there is nothing to be done about it. It just is what it is.

I didn't say anything about "everything." Just death.

Understood. Just wondering if you thought anything happened when it shouldn't have.

I don't know when the "proper" time is for anything to happen, and don't worry about that. It's subjective.

What else would it be?

Of course, I also never said it was. I was addressing the "proper timing" deal you seem to be dwelling on. THAT is subjective.

just looking at the "when it's your time" theory. I mean seriously. Is there anyway to ascertain if a death was timed perfectly ?

 

[Midnight Marauder]

You might say "he died too early" and that sentiment is fine. It's subjective though.

What actually happened was, his time to die was right when it happened. And when it is your time, it is your time.

How can it be any other way?

I had the same basic thought when I first saw this story. It's certainly tragic, and the fact he died doing something he loved and winning the game to finish a perfect season are probably little or no comfort to his family and friends. I imagine there is little that would be comforting when someone so young dies. Still, at least his last experience was a happy one, and perhaps in time those who loved him WILL be able to find some solace from that.

Right now the parents of all the jocks in that school are busy researching private schools, I imagine.

The odds are quickly stacking up...if you're a first string jock you might die mysteriously....

People who initiate negative contact, then piss and moan about unwanted attention.

 

[AllieBaba]

This is sort of fun.
