6th sep - man and nature

"Pluto is no longer a planet."
interesting how man seek to have control over nature sometimes, like how we harness the usage of wind and water for our daily needs, amongst many things. it even comes down to confirming the 'status' of astronomical objects. amusing sometimes even. especially to learn that all these while, the solar system that we taught to us and has been taught for centuries is somewhat inaccurate.

sometimes however, nature resists human control and even retaliates.

"steve irwin, the crocodile hunter, dies while filming"
such pity, a man who puts everything he has on the line for the very thing he loves, seeks to share with the world his love, departs jus like that...

being in australia, the impact of his death seems doubly hard, he's all over the news. even my hostel's management has attempted to setup gathering this weekend within our own compounds to observe a min of silence for the man.

which brings to mind this question:
"would u have regrets in life, if u died doing the very thing u loved?"
