Psychic Shock

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray. =/ I was on the bus when they flashed the news on Channel NewsAsia. It's completely shocking. I thought it was some insensitive practical joke at first. Then I realised, news channel? They don't joke. My first thought was for his wife, Terri, and his kids. My heart goes out to her, to them. Apparently the barb of the stingray pierced his heart when he swam too close to it. It's a freaky accident, and the way he died is so unheard of. Fate has dealt another wild card. It just goes to show the frailty of life, the precious fragile spark that is imbued in all of us, can never be taken for granted. We die from so many causes, we can expire at any time. We never know when our last breath will be, so we ought to make the most of it while we still can. But still...this comes as a complete shock. *sigh*
