A dear friend of mine died a couple of weeks ago. He packed a lot of life into forty-six years, so I don’t think he left with regret. But after such a great ride, many of us wondered why he stepped off when he did. While he had several health issues, none seemed immediate. Therefore, it was a shock to his friends and family when he got sick and died so quickly.
Imagine going to a restaurant (any restaurant will do). When the waiter asks you what you would like, you reply, “I’ll take whatever you have available. I don’t care.” While your results might be interesting, your experience would not likely be ideal. I know what you are thinking, “Who would do that—go to a restaurant and not choose what they want? That is absurd!” I agree.
