The sudden death of Dr. Pius Adesanmi once again brings into the fore the age-old question: Why do good people die young? When good people die young, we feel devastated because we have lost something precious. Our hearts are ripped apart and left with a gaping hole. We wonder and we question why they were taken away from us. “He was such a good person, why would God kill him?” “She was so young, why would God call her home so soon? She never got a chance to live!” “He didn't deserve to die.
Knowing the fragility and brevity of life, Adesanmi worked round the clock believing in Jackie Robinson's philosophy that “a life is not important except in the impact it has on others. Adesanmi made an impact on us the way atomic bomb does: He imploded before he exploded! His mind was never at rest, and his pen is connected to his mind by the best conductive narrative magnet we've ever seen.

For some souls, once they become well networked in their lives, have built friendships, relationships, held bonds with many people, live many places, they die. Suddenly.
Mark Twain was born the year that Halley's Comet appeared. Twain predicted that he would die the next time Halley's Comet appeared again. Twain died in 1910 the day after Halley's Comet appeared in the night sky. Halley's Comet appears every 76 years. Twain was 76 years old when it appeared! John Lennon sang about living on borrowed time. He recorded a song called “Borrowed Time,” in which he sings, “Living on borrowed time, without a thought for tomorrow.
