Follow your heart

Walking along the beach in Sanya the other day I noticed two groups of people that had formed a few meters from each other. Each groups attention lay in its center rather then the other group so I got nosy and moved closer. Once I had moved towards one of the crowds it became clear what they where doing. They gaped at 3 people in their middle performing CPR on a poor guy who must have drowned a few minutes earlier. I didn't stick around and neither did I move closer towards the other group, but a bottle of oxygen which was swiftly carried from one group to the other made it clear that the situation there must have been similar. There was nothing for me to be done as proper medical help had arrived already, so I was on my way.
My mind of course, stayed with the scene and it made me realize how short life can be. So forget the stuff I wrote about laziness, that was clearly rubbish.
To make life matter to oneself and to not regret missed chances one has to give it one's best shot and thats exactly what I am going to do now.
