Depressing realization. This is why it would be bad to know the future. The mystery of it coming for you makes life worthwhile. Make the most of it and have no regrets, so that it won't matter if you go early or are posted up in a nursing home.

To ad: this thought process will now be stuck with me forever. I hope I can shake it. Thanks Rainman.

I've always tried to avoid this realization, but man - this was a rough trip home. It was like living inside that Mickey Rourke wrestling movie or that recent Nebraska movie, but without the music.

I'll just be happy if I don't die from Ebola. That will shake it (hopefully)!

Thanks for the giant serving of depression with a large cup of self-awareness. If nobody sees me post in the next 48 hours, can someone alert the authorities in Wichita to let them know there is a Chiefs fan hanging in a closet on the west side of town.

Live a full enough life that your end game is of little consequence to you.
I have a batty 90 year old grandmother still living on her own. I suppose on the outside her life doesn't seem too exciting. She's certainly lost a lot of loved ones. But she's still the happiest person I know. It's all about how you want to approach it.

Doesn't this dawn on most people in their early adolescence?
I recall seeing my Grandparents, Great Aunts and Uncles deteriorating every time I saw them. My teens were often interrupted for my services as a pall-bearer. I've had a hard time deciding whether to live my life on the straight and narrow with the hopes of living to to a ripe old age/ or / to indulge in the things that give my life pleasure.(it's unfortunate they can't be one in the same). I've opted for the latter and have made every effort to leave behind everything I can for those left in my wake. My family has a history of Alzheimer Disease, Cancer, Heart Disease. I've watched it cut down older relatives with no support. I don't plan on going out like that. My death will be a pensive moment. It may sting at first, but those left behind will be stronger for it. |

There's a movie about Nebraska? Is it just 90 minutes of nothing?

This is why you don't **** around and live life. It ain't no dress rehearsal. Regrets have to be the worst possible last feeling you can possibly have.

Life sucks sometimes. Just remember you can only control what you can control, which isn't a lot sometimes but you keep trying. We are all much more fortunate than most in this world, being in the US, having family that pretty much controls there situation in life as we also have. The will to live should be strong, no matter the circumstances as that's what makes all beings strong. It sucks seeing people get old and loose their cognitive ability but they made it to that stage, most human beings don't.
When bad things happen in life you wonder why are we here. The reason ( don't need a religious sermon) is because we are and we need to make the most of it. Worship Christ, Buddha, Islam, whatever. The will to survive is not religious based, it's the most characteristic of the life forms on this planet. Do your best while your here and let your maker judge you when your not. Keep your chin up, what doesn't kill you will make you stronger and that's the truth to the life we live. |
