Life isn't always about you.

It's funny how life has a way of showing you that it is running the show. Just when you think you have a good handle on life and you are happy with what you have; Life comes back around and fucks it all up.

Everyone wants to be happy, everyone wants to be loved, everyone wants to be taken care of, everyone wants a big house with lots of money; some more then others. The really question is not if someone wants these things. The really question is "What will they do to get them?"

The actual answer can be scary. The really scary part is not that certain people will do anything, and I mean anything, to get those things. The scary part is that what happens when your life and your path, intersects theirs. All the protection in the world will never prepare you for what can happen when it does. Remember that everything in life is living in its path, and it is certain that a path raging without any control will some day intersect yours. This is the whole reason we have car, house, life, fire and earthquake insurance. These things are bound to happen. You have insurance to help you pick up the pieces after it does.

Life insurance is improperly named. It should be called death insurance because that is what it is for, to help you pick up the pieces after a death. Problem is that most people don't want to talk about death so they had to coin it as "Life" insurance. So I guess what we could all use is "Living" insurance. Something to help us pick up the pieces when two lives that are living, collide in some drastic manner, and you need someone to be there to help pick up the pieces. I guess we need to find some underwriters for this.
