I would rather 5 minutes of life .To an eternity of lingering . It's as Queen put it


Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Jesus said wine will be served at that great party in the sky; beats me why Hitchens didn't want to go..Wink

Brewer, I think it's time we sit down together and have that talk about the birds and bees.  [emoji13]

I'm with you MH. I just dropped 3 kids off at the pool. No idea what she's talking about?
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

RE: Processing our mortality
It's always been easy for me because I never believed in an afterlife and assumed death was the end anyways. I remember when I was like 7 crying at one point because I was so happy and never wanted to die and I was thinking about the fact I was going to die one day. I was like 7. Yeah I've always been deep Tongue

I do reckon that being a parent does make me fear for my life. I am needed for my daughter, otherwise, no, it will happen whenever and I am OK with it. I am not afraid to die, just don't want to.

Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.

We'll all be dead soon enough, at least he got to be Freddie Mercury in the interim.  I dig holes for a living. I'm not saying it's an easy call...I'm just saying it's not always an easy call.   Wink
