A Second Life? What Would You Do?

Pittsburghers are saying their final goodbyes to the three women who died in the massacre last week at LA Fitness.

But if there is any good news that came from this tragedy, it is that many others did not die. All of the wounded are expected to recover. Others who were in that dark room when the shooting began were spared by fate. And there were many others who heard the shots and experienced various degrees of awareness that their time on earth might come to an abrupt end.

Then there was the story of Stanley Lowe. The Pittsburgh community activist was left for dead by two men who broke into his home and took him to an ATM to draw out money. While recovering, he recently told the Pittsburgh Tribune Review that he had been given a new life and he intended to make good use of it.

Death’s aim is not always perfect. Sometimes we dodge the bullet. Sometimes we recover. Sometimes we are just lucky.

Suppose you recently had come close to death and were pulled back, given a new life — what would you do with your new life?

Why aren’t you doing it now?
