The '90s was a decade to remember, it was a decade of famous young people passing. The news of Princess Diana's death wobbled my legs and I slumped on the floor. The news of John Kennedy Junior's plane missing tore my heart.
These beautiful people were my contemporaries, and I admired them very much. Losing them as such a young age was saddest. They could have given the world much more beauty.
Netflix has just uploaded a documentary about Senna. I don't know this guy but Formula One caught my interest when I was a teen. It was exciting.
But now I see that the excitement is scary. I couldn't push my self to view what could be an impending tragedy.
If you guys can watch this, perhaps Senna could be winning somewhere in another dimension. I don't have to the courage though, to see another dying.
Spanning his decade-long career as a Formula One racer, SENNA explores the life and work of triple world champion Ayrton Senna, his physical and spiritual ac...

Yup. He did look like the exemplary son in the beginning. He knew his passion. He knew his dream. And he knew his God.
I cannot comment on what followed next.

@LadyDuck You did? Oh my! You did love him! He was that good guy to love, huh. Like John, the son.
I think I will have to resume watching that documentary after all. There's a poignancy in the lives of these famous people dying young. But come to think of it, their deaths were fitting ends, and we remember them young.

@Hannihar I also refrain from watching sad endings. You are correct, the world is already in a very sad state. We only have to read the news about our own people and sadness can envelop us.

@Hannihar Very trying life is, yes. But I did survive the trials. Wounded but unscathed. I do view life now in a brighter perspective, even with the war, the hunger, the pestilence, the depression, the deaths. I do try to be as vocal with my opinions, correct a wrong, verify a falsity, speak the truth. The difficult situations always come to pass, so no use dwelling on it. I do hope you'd find peace, hope, and joy in your daily undertakings. Life is short.

I do love watching action packed videos or movies but if the scene is gruesome I won't dare to watch it. If I do I might have a nightmare.

This documentary is a life story of a Formula Once Champion. Tragic ending, yes.

@Nakitakona Their car smashed on a tree. That was also tragic, especially that we are F&F fans. Hu hu
