My Dear Friend and Colleague, the Stethoscope

In life, our relationships, the changes we make, the people on whom we have an impact, the little things or the magnificent or even magnanimous deeds, that make a difference in our (or in other people's) lives are the essence of our time on earth. Overall, the positive contributions that we make to society, or to a single individual, can be described as a life 'well spent'. When we bring misfortune onto another possibly causing death, it is still a circumstance, which is qualified as willed by fate on the victim. But do I believe in destiny? Or should we define 'destiny' as another excuse or camouflage for that universal element called 'Time'? Our activities on the journey through life, which people remember about us, are precious moments and indelible passions that evoke our Time on this planet. These memories are short lived however, but were it not for the art of writing which recaptures these events and immortalizes them; giving credit to cherished legacy or chastising evil, while being open ended or evading judgment, we would be left with very little recollections of our precious Time here. Based on a true story of one's life's journey, this book is an attempt to describe a 'life well spent'. But was it really a life well spent? Was the element called Time fair to us? Or was it even worth the journey? I'll let you, the reader, be my judge.Esbee, Samuel T. is the author of 'My Dear Friend and Colleague, the Stethoscope' with ISBN 9781420800203 and ISBN 1420800205.
