What would you like to learn today?

To revel in the fact that I'm the FIRST to reply to this Questions and Reflections!?

I want to learn, or rather remember, to be like a dead man I watched impact people yesterday morning.  It was a funeral right out of a movie, where the High School Senior class talks about their classmate, a light to each of them snuffed too soon.  I remember the boy, indeed a light to all, mischiefous and selfless.  I remembered myself, as a boy, striving to do the same.

Second funeral in three days for my small community.  Second day this week in which a memorial service stared at me.

I want to learn to appreciate Death as a reason to not take Life so seriously.  I used to be such a lighthearted individual.  Iraq sorta imprinted this idea that Death was instant and unsuspected, so Fix the World Today.  Seems like the correct end, so my means cater to efficiency and cold denial of my weaknesses.

I'm tired of putting off interactions with emotional Life because I don't want to be distracted from impersonal duty.  I want people to lavish praise and memories of the times I cheered them up at my funeral, that I made them laugh each day...
