Air France

"This type of tragedy should give us all a lesson in humility and humanism," she said. "No one lives forever. We often forget that."

It was a totally full flight and a couple tried moving mountain and earth to get seats in it. But as fate would not have them perish that day, they were denied the seats. The woman grateful to be alive today talks an immense sense of timeless truth. Indeed in her own words, NO ONE lives forever and we often forget that.

I shudder as I try to imagine the 220 souls that perished in we know not what - fire? air? water? One of the elements for sure. yes they are relieved from the miseries of the world and let us hope they had a quick release at that, with no time to endure pain, fear or anxiety. God Bless their souls. And let the world realize life after all is a delicate bubble, floating in the air. And of course the bubble can burst anytime.
