Life is shit. One of my best friends just had a terrible cerebral attack, he's now in deep coma and will probably not recover all his capacities. My father (who's a doctor) tells me this can happen to anyone at anytime. Those kind of brutal stroke are unfortunately unpredictable and can happen to anyone of us at any moment in time. Many times you never come back from it.
I was in shock when i heard that news. This is a kind person, that was really minding his own business and was not caring for ambition of ruling on others. I really hope he'll recover as much as possible.
One thing to remember is that you should live your life 100% with no regret. And i know that my friend was doing precisely that. Being in full adequacy with yourself is so important, and i think this is some kind of key factor of happiness in life.
There is nothing worse that disappearing with the feeling of strong frustration and self unaccomplishment. So many people live that way and by weakness, absence of choice, absence of self awareness and do not change things and live a poor life. I know i do all i can to avoid that and this is why i decided, even late, to quit France and come to live in Israel and pursue my career where my passion is (internet). But even now i am not totally sure i am not missing something big (a musical career will always be a big frustration for me). Maybe one day I'll realize it.
Dear Friend (won't name him), if you can read this one day, i can tell you, you are living and will live with no regret.
