I rode my bicycle to the market place where they had many Christmas events, but I also learned that one person whom I know had left this world. He had died. I often saw him riding his bicycle and I often talked with him and his wife. This was quite sad. Now in six months four people whom I have known personally have left this world. We never know who shall leave next.

The end of life on earth is inevitable. Before too long it will be my turn to leave. I have mixed feelings about it.

Exercising is good for health. Bicycle riding is great. @crimby We just must try to live as long as possible. Once I tried to commit suicide, but now I want to live for next 30 years. It is just sad how people whom I have known in these 20 years have left this world. I have kept a list of people who have died and now there is 58 people in my list, nearly three people a year. Life wins always.

Do you have a big family with so many deaths? Or do you also count acquaintances?

Persons whom I have known. This includes also my teachers, my neighbors, people whom I chatted with and so on. My little town has less than 20000 people.

That’s sad but everyone has to die sometime. If everyone lived forever there wouldn’t be anymore room left on this planet.

In my society males are dying sooner than females. There has been cases when I have talked with somebody one day and next day they have died. Sometimes it is depressing. In my list I have 58 names, but the real situation may be worse because I have quite limited information sources.

Do you also keep a list of the number of newborns you know of? Just to Keep it balanced.

I do not know any newborns. But what I have learned from some people is that there are not newborns as many as there has been in the past. The population of my little town has decreased by 10 % in the past 20 years. Many young people move to Helsinki, Tampere and other big cities.
