Life and Death: Matters for Consideration
Jan 24th, 2008 by April
Most of you, I’m sure, have heard the news that Heath Ledger was found dead yesterday. It is a terrible loss for Hollywood and for the art of filmmaking in general. What is frightening is that we do not yet know how it happened - some speculate that it was drugs but nothing has been confirmed.
Moments like this make one realize that how fleeting life is. When someone passes away at a young age, it is even more confusing. We expect people to live to ripe, old ages, but unfortunately, that is not always the case. For this reason, we must all make an effort to grab life, getting as much out of it as we can. We must do the things we fear to do because, as my mother always says, “We are not promised tomorrow.”
Though young, Heath Ledger had already given so much to the world through his craft. What can you give to the world through yours?
