Death no one gets out alive

Sorry to hear about your friends Ka Bong.

Thanks man. We all lose people close to us, it's important to take the time and let them know what they mean to you before it's too late. That said, you cannot live in fear of today being the last chance, you've got to live in the excitement of the moment you're blessed with.

All to often 'life' gets in the way, wet don't get the chance to catch up with friends and family as we should.

Regret can be a hard thing. My partners mum past away a few years ago and we were planning to visit that very weekend, hadn't for quite a while. To this day I know she regrets not visiting more often.

It's not her fault, just the prison that life for the working class has become.

Muhammad PBU. said "you should live in this world as if you are already dead"

so that's how I live and that's how I do all this silly shoot-from-the-hip stuff without fear of consequences

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.

I am scared

I am scared

Don't be scared. Listen to good song, listen to someone interesting, write a poem. You have nothing to fear.

As long is death is like falling asleep I do not fear it. I have an impossible time falling asleep so I don't think it is going to happen for a while. But when it comes it will be relief. Like a lullaby.

Random or programmed

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

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.

Crazy thing is it's the ones who remain that have to decide both. I don't mean not ending in some spiritual sense so much as a person being such a potential force while here, that whole living the life thing.

Also circumstances of a death. Watching someone die slow is a gut punch. You relive the entirety of their life at the same time you're just wanting to say goodbye for their sake. Man what a cheery thread .

bottom line..embrace the day. There are no guarantees.
