Dead Doctors 2

Two of the Doctors were Dan Terry and Tom Little, and they fulfilled the definition of Missionary.

Both men came to Afghanistan in the 1970s, inspired by their Christian faith to help the poor and in love with the high mountains of this country.

This is really terrible and really sad--that people who were reaching out to help were killed. ;-(

And then life just poked them in eye--and killed them. Definition of tragedy.

It might not be so tragic after all. The living may envy those who have done what they believed in and passed on... in a few short years...
Our future of the humdrum continuation of our illusions is not very rosy.

You put words to the gut fear I have, as you probably already know. Coming to a condition where the living envy the dead in the not too distant future. All the signs are pointing that way, I fear.
