Death in the house of the poor doesn’t leave an echo. Death in the house of the rich is big news. For those who are suffering from a terminal disease, death is a deliverance. It’s life! Poor and rich have one thing in common: death doesn’t have an appointment.

The death of John Travolta‘s son Jett has touched many of us. If money could buy life, John Travolta would prevent death from stealing his son. Death doesn’t discriminate based on age, race, class, or gender. As the Swahili of Tanzania say, “Death is blind.”
