The outpouring of sympathy and affection for the late Junior Seau, the talented former NFL player, who took his life at age 43, has been heartwarming for his family and the San Diego community where he was born and raised. Not only was Seau a great football player, but he was an outstanding role model for thousands of kids and a wonderful humanitarian. This is why so many fans were saddened and shocked to learn of his untimely death.
What makes Seau's death all the more tragic is that he had everything to live for. But, for reasons we'll never know, he ended his life after struggling with bouts of depression. Living simply became too hard for Junior.
The Course of 10,000 Days reminds us that life is very precious which is why it's essential that we understand our higher purpose and strive to live it everyday. When we lose hope and can no longer dream, life becomes a terrible burden; and, for some people, dying is an easier alternative rather than struggling to find meaning and purpose in one's life. Perhaps, this was the same difficult struggle Junior Seau faced after battling depression for so many years. He will be missed.
