A glimpse into the unknown

It doesn't really matter if you're a deranged, psychotic, harebrained, moronic (running out of adjectives) nutball who can't think beyond Jenna Jameson or what's for dinner. It doesn't matter if you can't tell the difference between a lavatory and a lamp post to answer the call of nature. There are moments when circumstances compels you to wonder deeply about life, how transient it can be, and the perenially debated question of 'what lies beyond'?
After an eventful day of shocks and jolts of high voltage, i was left nursing a sore arm and calf muscle. After almost being electrocuted in the bathroom (Apparently, there was some fault with the earth connection, we were later told), I'm sitting here wondering what might have happened if my brother had not turned off the switches when i shouted at him???What might have happened had the current flowed through my body for a few more minutes?? The other side of life beckoned me there for a brief moment, and i almost stretched out my hand and said yes..
The whole thing wasn't long, maybe about 10 seconds, but i'm telling you, a lot goes through your mind while the volts of moving electrons saps the living fluid out of you. And you end up realising, yet again, how fleeting life really is and how,despite all your plans, unpredictable it can be. Makes you feel really insignificant in the face of fate.
So u'll have to bear with me if i am a bit somber and philoshophical for the next few days.
