I shouldn't be alive?
Okay, let me set the stage for you: It's Summer 1991. I am at this crappy summer camp, dragged there against my will by my parents. So I am standing out on a dock in my swimsuit debating as to whether or not I should go for a swim. Next thing I know I am in the water. I look up and I can see the light from the sun reflected in the water. Then it all goes black.
I hear the song "Stand" by R.E.M. playing and I slowly open my eyes to find that I am in the Nurse's station. I panic because I have somehow tele-ported or something and my chest hurts and I just want to know what the f*** is going on. The Nurse comes over to me and explains the whole thing: I was standing on the pier when another camper who wasn't paying attention knocked me into the water. I sank like a rock and one of the counselors swam in after me. They pulled me to the shore of the lake and found I wasn't breathing. The counselor performed CPR and the nurse was called out to come get me after I started to breathe on my own.
After spending many years thinking about it I have come to the only one logical conclusion: I was supposed to die that day.
So, like, what now? If I am living a life I'm not supposed to, who is penalized? The counselor that saved me? Me, for not dying like I was supposed to? Help me out here.

You are a kitty. You have eight lives left.
You are living on borrowed time. Enjoy it.
If you were supposed to die, you would have. You were supposed to be rescued.
Pick one or all.

No, you were not supposed to die that day. If you were, you would be dead.
You were, however, probably supposed to devote yourself to becoming a better person from then on, or to living life to its fullest, or something.
i.e. Reflect on your pre-near-death-experience life so as to improve your post-near-death-experience life.
Or something.

So what you're all saying is I need to live life?
Allright, life, here we go! *Chugs a bottle of whiskey*
Oh, and I've thought about that since that day. Its just taken me 15 years to really start to question it.

Not that anyone can see it now, but when I read this post,

I, more than anyone else, question my own mortality.
