Do bloggers live without fear of dying suddenly ?
There is a sufi saying, that has been attributed to other sources. But, it states in moral clarity how we must live:
"Die before you die! Hence be prepared, for death walks beside us every step of our mortal journey. joab

Ooops, I was referring to the following...
Gandhi letter pulled from UK auction One of the last letters written by Indian independence leader Mohandas Gandhi has been pulled from a London auction so it can be acquired by the government of India, Christie's auction house said Monday.
Christie's had earlier insisted that the six-page document, which was to go on auction as part of a larger collection Tuesday, would be sold despite India's protests.
But the collection's executors reconsidered, agreeing to withdraw the letter and hand it to the Indian government, Christie's said in a statement. The auction house did not give further details on the arrangement.
Gandhi wrote the letter, which had been expected to sell for up to $24,000, 19 days before his assassination in New Delhi by a Hindu extremist in January 1948. Addressed to an Indian magazine, it pleaded for tolerance toward India's Muslim population.
Amin Jaffer, the International Director of Asian Art at Christie's, said Christie's was happy with the arrangement. "We are pleased to have facilitated the negotiations which have resulted in an important historical record returning to India," Jaffer said in a statement.
The letter was part of a collection amassed over three decades by the late Albin Schram, who kept the documents in a filing cabinet in his home in Lausanne, Switzerland, according to Christie's.

Interesting read...
When I think of it, I live in fear of an agonizing lingering death by something like cancer.
