A friend of my friend at work passed away today. 35, single, parents living in the U.S., she was living in Turkey, had no illness, nothing, healthy, and just knocked down dead, just like that. She was alone when she died, no relatives in Turkey, just her friends...

The news came as a shock to her friends, and us even though we did not know her. It was so sad. And once more it reminded us how short life is. It is too short to spend it in a hassle, getting frustrated, or not respecting others and their feelings. I think we should think twice before we let those negative emotions eat into us, it is just not worth it, its too short a life to feel mad...
