Yeah, definitely defensive posts never serve the intended purpose of defending, because thereās not really any danger or anything to defend oneself from at an online forum. Itās all just different manifestations of arguing, which isnāt allowed here.
Living in South Africa I live most days in fear of being killed as a result of violent crime .I have lost friends and family due to random acts of violence.Had a close friend raped and murdered in her own apartment. Its an unfortunate part of life here in SA.
My two worst fears: chronic illness and amnesia. The latter may not lead to a sudden death. But what is ālivingā if you lose your memories and donāt even recognise yourself?
How many of us have living will?
I havenāt done mine; but I intend to put it clearly that I donāt want to āliveā on as a vegetable through some breathing machine.
The best āprematureā death is , like in Kenny Robertās song the Gambler, is to ādie in your sleepā.
And if there is a soul after death, I intend to take my soul out to explore the universe. I donāt want to go to āliveā in eternity either in heaven or hell. Exploring the vast universe, like a big comet, would be interesting. I guess my soul wouldnāt need any flashlight, even though many parts of the universe is rather dark, especially in āblack holesā.
1 out of 200 persons develop cancer each year. This year it could be you. Uh-oh.
Sorry for joking. I had cancer, and it is a mercyful cause of death. You have time to manage everything, can fight it, no one has to ask questions beginning with āwhat ifā when youāre dead. I used my time wisely when I got my chemotherapy. Never thought Iād manage to survive so many years.
Now look at Donnie LB Darko. In a split second he was dead, last thing he saw was this guy in a rediculous bunny costume. His parents lost their home and had to sue the owner of this airplane.
Thanks sb. Hug to brother Raccoon too. This thread actually changed my plan today from doing a freesolo climbing lap up an easy 700 foot route, to getting the pup out for a hike to trying to transplant some Wapato where there is shitloads to another location close to home where I want it to be where there is none. The internet seems lacking in the best way to do that, but Iām planning on hiking in with a couple quart water bottles, filling up the lower 1/3 with silt and leaving some river water in, then hiking out and trying not to spill.
