on death and dying

oh, how about this. I'm not about to turn this into a total trashy celeb news blog (you've got perez for that-I couldn't do a better job), but how tragic/shocking is it that heath ledger died.

"Ledger's family called his death "very tragic, untimely and accidental." " - CNN.com. who do they think they're kidding? Death is never accidental. No one on accident says, "Hmm, I'll take a Vicodin" and ends up taking the whole bottle. this isn't cough syrup we're talking about. It wasn't an accident like, I just spilled my entire glass of water, let's fix this mess. No- death is different. It can't be fixed.

further, I don't believe that his death was an accident like "oops" in the human sense. Let's forget the accident part because we'll forgive their celebrity blood status. to us, humans, death can seem accidental. Like car accident-accidental. but in the grand scheme of this universe, no...God knew it before it happened, and nothing of God is accidental. I've just opened the can of evil worms, as in, did God create evil, but that's probably for another day.
