<< Yeah you know about it though And that itself is enough to afffect the way you act >> why? no matter what you do it will happen to you anyway? << And the decisions you make >> i think the point of the sig file that we are questioning here is that you need to not live in fear. some people live in fear of death -- it is constantly on their minds. (these people really piss me off on the highways....) << how you feel towards your moment of death How you will handle it >> the fact that you even think about how to handle it means that you are assuming a non-sudden death. which is worse: suddenly dying or a lingering death that you are aware of? my father is dying of liver cancer right now, and it's terrible to watch. my uncle keeled over of a heart attack at work on the day before Thanksgiving. it seems to me that sudden death is much less traumatic -- at least for the person involved. and, in a way, for the family. my aunt had a few days if intense despair, but she has moved on with her life. my mother has been utterly depressed for months, and will be for months more...... so i am thinking that quick and unexpected is the way to go. << Are all considerations That most people have made >> i don't worry about it. i will die, and when it happens it happens. no big deal. << I assume Unless they are so scared They try not to think about it Pathetic.. >> i am not sure that thinking about it and planning for it and, to a degree, anticipating it are worthwhile. i live with the knowledge that it will happen to me, and that is all i need. i do not think about it further. do you Kris, sit there in your drunkeness obsessing over your death? << Yeah its gonna be wicked I reckon..! Maybe not the pain bit so much But the bit after.... >> ah, so Kris is a thiest. who knew?
