Death no one gets out alive

[Beanz]

By the way, that is a 100% true story

Until you said that I am sure nobody doubted you

I’m not sure, it’s always a strange thing to tell people which is why I haven’t over the years but yes, when u say something is 100% true it does add doubt

When I was a kid I was hit by a drunk driver as I rode my bike. I went head first through his car windsheild broke all kinds of shit and lost most of my blood as I lay unconcois on the street. Anyway I had to be revived with the paddles. I had a near death experience that involved white lights and a voice telling me I could stay if I wanted to. It was very intense but I am not sure if it was an NDE or some kind of dream or my neurons firing strange cause I was knocked out. Damn ive only told a few people that. It was a very memorable calming experience that I don’t know what it really was. I still think of it on occasion

When I was a kid my mate got hit by an oncoming doubledecker bus after tripping off the pavement, just happened to be closest to the road, he spent a while in hospital, had his leg chopped off then inevitably the machine turned off.

I still think of it on occasion. Funny old world.

When I was a kid my friend got hit by a satellite that came hurtling out of the stratosphere while we were playing stickball. The satellite was so radioactive that it's simply cooked him right there while he was on the pitcher's mound. I didn't even get a chance to swing the bat.

Near death moments and death of people you know certainly make you think about the afterlife.

Best to live for the moment and not dwell on your mortality.

it is so very hard because what is the moment? If you try to live in a moment for example a quick birthday party or a quick drink with a friend or a quick meal on the run you take a few bites or a few sips will you take a piece of birthday cake and as you're chewing it you are telling yourself to enjoy the moment but by the time you have chewed and swallow at the moment is already gone and there you are again standing in the silence knowing that that is one less moment that a person is going to have. The slowly filtering Sands down through The Hourglass are so painfully and acutely obvious as one gets older that is very very hard to get out of a constant state of restlessness knowing that we are just on a conveyor belt slowly moving towards the finality and the unknown

That is a morbid way to look at life.

Instead chew and savour every moment of the food.

Yes I know and I do. But those thoughts always sneak in

Think happy thoughts.

Always had a hard time believing a person just 'ends'. Know what I mean. The mind heart and soul of an individual cannot simply be tethered to heartbeat. Death observed has to be a factor in how we perceive it upon ourselves? The eventuality of it and randomness can mess with you overthinking it. A 10 year old dies of cancer and a 90 year old dies when some drunk crosses into oncoming traffic. That's just messed up.

If it just ends then it just ends...what is a person going to do about it?

If it doesn't just end then it doesn't just end....what is a person to do about it?


All we can do is live the lives we are blessed to live today

I agree with Brock. You have to accept the melancholy and there is nothing wrong or morbid and natural about it. It is genuine and real. To pretend all is fine and dandy is just self deception.

[Gandalf]

unnatural. it is a normal feeling. healthy and good.

Fear no more the heat o' the sun;
Nor the furious winter's rages,
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages;
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney sweepers come to dust.

Fear no more the frown of the great,
Thou art past the tyrant's stroke:
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak:
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this, and come to dust.

Fear no more the lightning-flash,
Nor the all-dread thunder-stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finished joy and moan;
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee, and come to dust.

No exorciser harm thee!
Nor no witchcraft charm thee!
Ghost unlaid forbear thee!
Nothing ill come near thee!
Quiet consummation have;
And renowned be thy grave!

I don’t know if it would be stranger if this life went on forever. I get very tired sometimes the immortal thing would be very strange and thinking about working forever is a horrible thought

If I was immortal I don't think I would be working. It would be a very strange place if everyone was immortal.
