Ethnounlimited or Tears and Blood

Thinking about the security of my future, in the context of recent events in "our neighborhood" with regard to different murders, I came across a newspaper article titled "Four passion crimes in just one week". While reading about these horrible crimes, I thought about one syntagm which people often use in such similar situations, and it says that "if love was not meant to be in their lives, it is assumable that it will be meant for them in their death". As I personally have no experience in "afterlife" and the "meant" part is not too convincing for me, the only thing left for me is to use my own imagination and try to play with that inapprehensible parapsychological fact, making sure, of course, not to neglect "Croatian sky poetics" under which all of this actually happens.
