<p>“Perhaps a better descriptor is that the loss of such a vibrant life so soon is “tragic”.”</p>
<p>I agree with you.</p>
<p>" No one said life was fair-- agreed, but to his family, I have to think they feel this tragedy is, for lack of a better word, “unfair”."</p>
<p>I would imagine that could be the viewpoint of his children since they are so young.</p>
<p>If Pausch’s wife shares what appears to have been his perspective on life, I don’t think she’d consider his death unfair. She’d grieve, of course, but wouldn’t be dwelling on, “Why us? We have been such good people.”</p>
<p>I am focusing on this so much because I think that once one lets go of the idea that life should be fair, one is free to find joy and become an inspiration no matter what hand life deals us. Pausch’s life was a testimony to this.</p>
