Dead or Alive ?

[thenry]

We're all going to die so are you OK being alive or would you rather it was all over and you didn't have to worry about the ending ?

I'm hanging on; if the grim reaper wants me he's gonna have to fight for me.

i like being alive

[boxtops]

^ what bednobs says - I'm not sitting here waiting for the inevitable, I'm making the most of it.

I'm more than okay with being alive - i absolutely love it! - the alternative seems pretty boring to me - strange question - want to talk about anything?
?

I was actually thinking about this this morning in a twisted way. I'm completely happy at the moment but I just had a moment of wondering what the point in at all was. We're only here to die =s I snapped myself out of it though!

[boxtops]

I'm not worrying about the ending either - it will be when it will be. I only hope it will be quick and peaceful (that's all I can wish for all of you).

[thenry]

The moment will come when we shuffle off the mortal coil. As we approach the moment we must consider - what was the bloody point ! (I did attend a funeral last week which got me thinking - What is the bloody point ! )

[mike11111]

The only drawback about dying is that you are unable to go to your own funeral (not consciously at any rate). I would give anything just to be able to hear my so-called friends and family who would post heart-rending obituaries, full of phrases like "greatly loved" and "sorely missed", *** me off something rotten at the wake.

There may not be a point, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

[mike11111]

Oops, didn't know that s la g was a naughty word.

[boxtops]

what's the point? - your being here can make a difference to other people's experiences of life.

[thenry]

The most unfortunate thing about my recent "death" experience was the suffering (cancer) and as I said to my brother, in the crem, dressed in my best suit was "you wouldn't have let your dog suffer like that would you ?" He has a spaniel by the way !

[boxtops]

That I do agree with, thenry - if someone is terminal, if they want to go, should they be allowed to?

[thenry]

thanks box. makes you think.

[rsvp]

thenry - - I responded to the original post - there seems to be a history - sorry if I offended in any way

[thenry]

Hey rsvp - no prob ! Just throwing out an unfaceable situation for most peeps !

[phleb]
