"Just World Phenomenon"

In class the other day, we watched a movie called "Grizzly Man." The movie is about this man, Timothy Tredwell, who believes that bears are simply misunderstood and goes out every year to Alaska to live with them. On his thirteenth year however, a bear killed him and his girlfriend. Is it okay to say that of course he died, he got what he deserved? Think about someone that did something amazing with a story to tell, when you hear their story do you think they deserved to die, or do you think that what they did was admirable? The documentary interviewed with a pilot who made it quite clear that Timothy got what he deserved and did more harm then good when living with the bears. You could however, turn it around coming from a pilot and say that if he died in a horrible crash he deserved what he got.

I think that what happened to Timothy was unfortunate, he said he wouldn't mind if he was killed by a bear, but he hoped that never had to happen. I think that he lived to his full potential and life dream. Unlike Chris McCandless, he was older and it was a dream for him, the bears helped him stop drinking and he tried to help them not be hunted.

Is it okay to die from old age and be on your couch for the rest of your life, rather than die a bit younger doing something you love?
