Geez... there's some scary people on this board. Yeah, I'm talking about you religious guys... [:D]
Just yankin yer chains. I'm with you guys. And I think than plenty of those wise-asses who mentioned revenge, sex and drugs would in reality be singing a different tune when faced with their imminent mortality. I truly would feel sorry for the ones who are serious. I gotta believe that even if you were a devout athiest, you'd still be spending that time with your loved ones. I'd be praying to God, all the while kissing each and every one of my five children and telling them everything will be all right. I have dealt with plenty of death in my 35 years. I just got done helping a close friend say goodbye to her mother. Death is as natural as birth. And it's NOT the end. If you don't believe that, then I feel sorry for you. You're gonna be surprized when you open your eyes on the other side and see that it ain't over. And then you're gonna wish you'd done some things a little differently while in mortality. I'm looking forward to seeing my mom and all the other loved-ones who've gone before me. But I'm not ready to check-out of here yet. But there's no doubt that as much as I try to live life to the fullest every day, if I actually knew the date of my death, I'd be doing things differently right now...
