I see it as the fact that the deceased was *living* as he or she
wished!

He or she wasn't sitting on the couch in front of the TV, waiting for
the reaper.

Right.

I hurt myself, sometimes often. I hit my finger, or cut myself, or pull a
muscle, or whatever.

It happens because I am always doing something - building something, fixing
something.

If you do those things, there is a chance that you will get hurt, more so
than sitting at a desk, or on the couch.

Same goes with flying. If you do enough of it, the chances that you will
die doing it, go up. So do it, and bad results be damned, I say.

Note, I don't need a statistics lesson/discussion. I am talking about the
accumulated risk over a lifetime.
