That is a sad story. I find myself always thinking about things like that. I suppose you can take it too far in that direction as well - thinking too much about "what if" isn't beneficial either. Coping with the uncertainty of life seems to be a careful balance.

I agree with you, one can overthink it. I think history is full of people doing what my friend did, many may regret it and many may not.
I'm one who can cut people off with extreme ease and have done so many times when those people have been negative influences. That's been beneficial to my life of course, however there's always a valid reason (in my mind at least) and I weigh it up carefully first. Negativity is a cancer though and so I'm happy to remove it.
You mention the uncertainty of life and that's an interesting point. It is uncertain isn't it! I mean we just don't know what is around the next twist or turn and decisions we make now may be prudent, sensible and beneficial in the future...And of course terrible decisions when viewed with hindsight sometimes too. Finding the balance can be difficult because we can't see the future.
What is certain though Ginny, is that I got your email and enjoyed it as always. I'll respond in kind shortly however have a busy week as I'm flying on Friday for the weekend. (Tasmania to see my brother graduate as a marine engineer.)
It's always nice to hear from you, on email or steem, and I hope you've been well. Thanks for your comment also.
Yes, I have done my share of cutting people out too, although it has always been people I met along the way and not family. Maybe I have just been lucky to have reasonable family members, I don't know.
The uncertainly of life is one of the most annoying things about it. Control freaks such as myself hate it :)
There's nothing wrong with a little uncertainty I think...It's those huge things that pop up out of the blue that annoy me. I like to be in control too, to feel like I'm prepared for whatever situation may arise...But in reality we are rarely truly prepared, especially for adversity.
