good way to say it. I have thought of this myself and how my stepbrother (the best among us got killed young by a drunk driver) Then again, some evil people die young from their stupidity!! congrats for your win

Thanks Andrea. On your last point, dies the U.S. have ‘The Darwin Awards’ (or anything similar)... look them up...human beings can be really quite dumb. Thanks for stopping by. Terry

Thanks Gershon. I can answer your question... the egg came before the chicken, but the chicken came before the chicken’s egg. Terry

Interesting question, Terry. Perhaps so; perhaps not. I suspect some die young before they have opportunity to do good. eh?

Hi Milt. I’m sure an awful lot of very good people live to a ripe old age. My question is an extension of the saying/song lyric ‘only the good die young’ and certainly isn’t a personal philosophy. Glad it gave pause for thought. Terry
