Reply #20: Death is really not the problem, since it is inevitable...the method of [View All]

transition however, can leave a lot to be desired.

If I KNEW, I was going to be incinerated in a nuclear fireball in 10 minutes, I'd go outside and just look in the direction of the oncoming missle...there's no way I'm gonna miss this. If I were dying of cancer, I would be seeing family, friends and others, making sure they felt OK about the whole thing, and that tables were cleared of "bad" items.

But if I KNEW that the world was ending on 22 Aug, I would be out there trying to find a way to stop it, and condemning those that brought the situation about; after all, it is a very few that have power that could possibly bring about a cataclysmic event like that into fruition. I find it disquieting that those who enable such an event, would likely survive...do we really need "people" like this to survive?

In any case I would feel great remorse for those who I would leave behind, my son, my brothers, my friends.

As for the dishes...let the survivors clean 'em...that way, they'll have something to do.
