I think about death a lot.

[biteme]

Being that I'll be 40 this year, I've seen so many people that I know die, I've seen good people lose their health and have a slow tragic ending. All of my aunts and uncles have died. I've been to nursing homes and know that I don't want to go out like that, hope I'd have the courage to end myself rather than suffer needlessly like I've seen so many do. I've seen my father, who I think is probably a better man than me, get struck with an insidious disease that is killing him and changing his personality slowly. Why in the fuck do I deserve it any better? And I know how fast life goes by. It has changed my perspective on things. We are all different, so not everyone will feel the way I do, but that doesn't give them the right to judge my feelings. But you will anyway.

 

[biteme]

No body up this late to hear me discuss my fears of death and getting old and decrepid? Hell, I'll probably die alone anyway.

 

[biteme]

Am I the only person left in the world? Is everyone else just a figment of my imagination?

 

[Robert Jan]

Yeah I should tell you, we were really all just actors all along.

I guess since your 1000 post thread got closed there isn't much to life anymore anyway.

 

[biteme]

I am talking to myself now. Good, I'm very adept at having conversations with myself, in fact if someone sees me talking to myself and stares rudely, I just continue the conversation I was having with myself. How dare them intrerupt my conservation with me.

I knew it!! Even "the thinker" has let me down. I am truly fucked.

This is possibly the saddest thread ever.

Meaninglessness and misery rule

That's what I'm afraid of. THe fact the the knowledge of this hasn't destroyed me since all my illusions have been stripped away, well it truly amazes me in a way. I just have this thread of hope in a seemingly hopeless, meaningless, tragic world. Oh the misery of it.

Life is hard. but the front side of a speeding freight train is harder.

FUnny you should mention a freight train. My friend asked me tonight if I believed in ghosts. Of course I do not, but I know lots of people who swear they have encountered them. She said that she doesn't believe in anything until it's proven to her. In San Antonio, years ago, a school bus got stranded in the middle of a railroad track and a train hit the bus and killed all the children. She had heard that if you park your car on the tracks, it will get pushed uphill and over the tracks. The story was on "Unsolved Mysteries." So she decided to see if this was true. To make a long story short (because I'm lazy) she parked her car on the tracks and was pushed uphill and across the tracks. She is still freaked out about it. Sounds silly to me, but a neat story anyway. It just doesn't make any sense to me that dead people's spirts would hang out all day in the spot where they died. WTF would they do to kill time?

 

[Robert Jan]

It doesn't make any fucking sense it must be an optical illusion that it is uphill.
maybe the surroundings aren't straight.

If she had the brake on, then I'd be impressed

That's exactly what I said. I may go there anyway to check it out, I don't have anything else to do worthwhile now that I have gotten off the merry-go-round for a while. God, I dread going back to work. It consumes your life.

 

[Robert Jan]

Work should be banned.
historical data shows clearly the link between hard work and a short life and disease.
the department of public health should ban it.

 

[biteme]

Well it's time to take my nightly tranquilizer and get some peace for awhile. Until we meet again.

 

[Robert Jan]

sure.

 

[Nubly]

we all live and die. its a bummer but thats life. make what you want out of it. i think all you need is to get laid though

 

[HumorMe]

There are two things we can not escape in life.....death and taxes.

Biteme, life is what you make of it. I'll be 43 in a couple of months and I have never felt better except for my aching back. Stop sitting around worrying about things like that. As you know, I lost my dad recently and all I can say is cherish the time you do have with your father now. Hindsight is 20/20 but there is nothing you can do about it now.

It seems when you hit 40, life changes big time. Things that used to be important are no more than a footnote now. Things don't bother me as much now and I just accept them. Quit dwelling on things and take action. Good luck buddy.

 

[c-sharp minor]

Yes, I think about death daily myself.

I've been reading a lot of philosophy as of late. Questioning my beliefs, and trying to work out my own philosophy on existence/non-existence.

I am finding myself becoming more comfortable with my own mortality as I grow older.

At the very least, I do know, I no longer wish to die. I'm starting to love life once again, and do have a very profound appreciation for what life has to offer.

 

[Fragadelic]

Just do what I do, bro - live in the past

 

[biteme]

Yes, definitely. That always helps. One of the only things that I truly enjoy.

Being that I'll be 40 this year...

Damn, MOST guys WISH they looked as good
as you do at age 40!

Thanks a lot. The reason they don't is because that's what they do, they wish, I acutally do something about it. It just depends on where your priorities lie. Most people take better care of their things than they do their bodies, but it's their life so I'm not judging them. I just ask them, don't fucking judge me for what I do.
