I was riding in the city to get some crickets, and it struck me how damn close we live to death now. Half a metre, two or three seconds; and BAM, you could be run down. Death has always been close throughout history - a few meals lost can mean an end - but we take it for granted nowadays that we'll be okay with new healthcare and technology, while completing ignoring that we've shaved the line closer than ever before.
But if that's not a reason to feel alive then I don't know what is.
