Weird sense of peace.

I had a surreal experience the other day. I was driving home alone in my families car and a thought dawned upon me that left me with a strange sense of completeness about life. The thought was simple; how many people in the past, in history would have ended their lives just to experience a day in mine? How many men or women from the 1500's would have quit everything they have just to experience the future and all it holds? After thinking about this thought for a while it occurred to me the absurdity of what I was doing at the time. I was controlling a perfectly designed piece of engineering magnificence. Everything from the plastics used to shape the interior to the finely tuned and calibrated motor. I was experiencing something that could be best described as magic. A feeling of calmness instantly came over me and the thought of my death seemed infinitesimally small and unimportant. I felt that I could accept my death as a friend simply because I was able to enjoy such a strange and amazing experience, an experience that I would usually take for granted. I found wholeness in the driver seat of car. A sense of calmness. If I died now, I'd die with a smile on my face because I experienced this.
