I’ve been following this coal mining explosion story. First, they were trapped trying to be rescued. Then, all but one survived. A few hours later, all but one died. Families were heartbroken and outraged, rightly so, until closure in the form of notes left by the miners from the great beyond let them know that they “just went to sleep.” It got me thinking about our own morality. Some days, I think about how great life is and what it has in store. Then I think about getting older and dying. I know that it’s just a part of the journey we call life, but sometimes you can’t help thinking about it. **EDIT: I meant "mortality." Thank you Anonymous.**
