I had a discussion once  with a friend of mine who is known to take  
some risks on the water.  I asked him if it would be OK if he died  
while kayaking. He said,  "No, I would feel horribly let down. I would  
feel that the place I  love has turned against me."

So, how would you  feel?

I think each of us would have different perspectives. I would  prefer dying 
in a kayak to going out at the hands of a criminal or a car  wreck if I had a 
choice in the matter. 
There is no good way to die, but some are worse than  others.
