#1 Perhaps there is a difference in life insurence payouts between sucide and any other death. He couldn't cope with stress but wanted his wife to be finacially well provided for. That would make the bowl of nuts picture the only nuts in this case. Dang! I must be old, but early in the morning that nut bowl sure looks like eye candy to me.

#2 I feel for the guy. When you 45 or 50 you are forced to accept that you are the man you are. NASA launches missions and the Rolling Stones go on tour and nobody calls you to join. If you aren't happy with where your life ended up, another 10 - 20 years dragging yourself to retirement looks bleak. I'm surprised that it doesn't happen more often.

#3 The quote you're looking for is, "There comes a time when you look into the mirror, and you realize that what you see is all that you will ever be. Then you accept it, or you kill yourself. Or you stop looking into mirrors."

#4 It helps immensely if you actually do the time in your youth to figure out who you are, what's it all about, and what are you going to do with your life rather than partying and waiting to 40+ and discovering its not what you were looking for or expecting out of life. A lot of 'kids' are coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan far wiser about their lives than most people 20+ years older who've avoided facing their mortality.
