Death

I came across this article in cricinfo.
Slater is among the elite few, those in my opinion, do not deserve their celebrity status. A fine batsman, but a despicable personality on and sometimes off the field. Not that my opinion has changed much after i read this, but I was certainly moved by this article. The next time I get to see or hear Slater, I'd certainly feel sorry for him and will never look at him the way I did in the past.
The fact that someone is dying certainly makes us feel sorry for them, no matter how much we hated them before. After all, life is transient...
