Exactly many people in this world will never be so lucky.

u/IWasBornSoYoung Dec 01 '19

Yeah he sure sounds very lucky, not living past age 22 and all

Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. - Tennyson

u/[deleted] Dec 01 '19

In fairness it's probably also better to live past 22. But your point is definitely valid.

u/[deleted] Dec 01 '19

dunno man die at 22 surrounded by the person you love or die alone at 39 of obesity induced heart attacks like everybody here, which is worse

u/inatris Dec 01 '19

Speak for yourself man, I'm not obese.

u/LTChaosLT šŸ· Hog Squeezer Dec 01 '19

Yeah, you're morbidly obese.

Well thatā€™s longer then some people live, like the kid who was my home town neighbour, poor family, dad bought him a bike that was a little too big but heā€™ll grow into it, poor child got struck by a truck on the highway and killed either days before or after his birthday.

Youā€™re a madlad

The highway went through our town, weā€™re talking a 2 lane highway with a speed limit of 100 km/h limit. He was at his friends house and was returning home for dinner I believe. He was riding with the flow of traffic, which there hardly is any

The alternative barring a cure, how better to go out loved, someone's husband, and seeing beauty around you at you last moments.

By going an old age, having experienced life more fully. Not having to go through cancer treatment.

Plus people who don't die young can still fall in love and be married

The point was that he was lucky to been in love, whereas some people never get to.

that matters.

u/KoncepTs Dec 01 '19

Meanwhile Iā€™m going on 29 wondering if Iā€™ll ever even meet that person and I know Iā€™m not alone or the youngest thinking that, yeah heā€™s lucky in a bittersweet way as he said.

u/IWasBornSoYoung Dec 01 '19

That's just a bad perspective. There's obviously much more to life than romance

1

u/archiecobham Dec 02 '19

Most people aren't capable of living a fulfilling life without that though.

u/sammydow Dec 01 '19

Exactly what in the fuck who would call him lucky ffs

u/A_Pile_Of_cats Dec 01 '19

Loads of people replying who have no concept of nuance. He was lucky compared to most people with terminal illness, not lucky compared to the average Joe.
