Death no one gets out alive

[Alpha]

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.

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

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 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.

My story was true, his name was Danny.

(P.S - only sickos think stories about little boys being run over are funny)

Danny is a striking story.

Same here fenny, had a young friend die when I was 7 or 8. He had a terminal illness but at that I didn’t really grasp what it meant. That was very strange. Ten years later my best mate got killed in a car crash, that one really hit me, at 17 or 18 who is thinking about death

It's a funny old world, Wally. I still wouldn't cry if you snuffed it tomorrow, however, I'd comfort Miles and his friends if they haven't already started threads about broken finger nails, 90s pop heroes and brilliant video games which mirror real life.
