Isn't it weird that at any moment you could die? At any moment, you could be kidnapped and murdered, or get in and accident. We all just sort of live and never really think about these things, but I could die right now, or you could even. It's weird to me. You get in a fight with your husband or mom maybe, you scream at them and then go for a walk. You come home and they are dead. Yeah, how nice the last thing you said to them was horrible. You spend the rest of your life never forgiving yourself. Yeh, I wouldn't want that to happen. I always try to say I love you or something, always. Because you never know what's in store for you. Seriously, it's weird...
What do you think about the whole thing?

Actually, Christopher B, I'm the exact oppostie! I DON'T listen to EMO music, and the glass is half FULL! I think some of you may have misunderstood me, I don't sit and worry about this. I know it's a fact of life, I was just trying to that it's an interesting one. That you will probably be totally forgotten one day, just think about it....gets you thinking hard. I'm the happiest person I've ever met! I dance, and sing, and frolic, and hug, and have so many loved ones! I'm not depressed, and I don't worry. I just like to get into discussions with deep thoughts and meaning sometimes!
I know God has a plan for us all too. And I know everything happens for a reason.
Some of you guys are right on with what I think!!!

Yes, we could all die at any minute...my house could cave in while I'm typing this message. Then, in 70 years all the relatives who knew me will be dead too, no one will be left to remember me, and my entire lifespan will be completely forgotten. It really freaks me out too, but there's nothing you can do about it. We all just keep waking up, going to work, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating this over and over again... Why...who knows?
anyway-that's getting off the subject...
Here's something you should try...
Just make sure your loved ones know that they're loved (like my husband & I always kiss & say I love you before we leave the house each day). And try not to "wish away" every day..Don't spend the whole work week wishing it was saturday, try to do at least one thing you actually enjoy every day so no day feels like a wate of time!

God has a plan like I have a Unicorn. It's just life. It's not planned out, you just go to and try to do it right. When people die, they just fall to the ground as bags of dead carbon. They won't remember, only you do. And you only realize your issues if you learn from the loss. What I'm getting at is always say what you mean and feel, then you don't have to worry. You don't have to be nice, just don't call for death and then whine like a little **** afterwards because your mind couldn't cash the checks your mouth was writing.

As a advocate reader and writer of philosophy these are the thing I think about every second of everyday. While the majority of people entertain themselves I am always searching for information. There is no truth to be known by anyone living today. We have been left a certain path to follow with limited information. The only for sure thing we do know is that life is not guaranteed to everyone or thing and the spatial time that we are here is taken for granted too, too too, often....

Our life is not promised and that is part of any living thing. Yes, it is rather disturbing to think about and that is why you shouldn't take life for granted. If you love somebody tell them. If you are in a long time disagreement with an old friend, resolve it. It's sorta like the song by Alan Jackson, "Where were you when the world stopped turning?" If you haven't heard it, you should listen to it.

It is all very true - not weird, but real! I have a plan for you. Today make sure you say something nice to everyone you meet. Then tomorrow, start living. Do something silly. Do something you always wanted to do but were a little shy or nervous. Once you start to live, keep on living. You will die eventually, but don't just sit there thinking about it and waiting for it. Start living now for there is nothing after death worth dieing for.

You listen to a lot of EMO music don't you?
I bet the glass is half empty too?
I think it might be time to start looking on the bright side of things. Life is short - live it like it is your last day, and stop worrying about when the last day is coming - before it passes you by.

It's the mystery of the unknown.
Que the twilight zone music
Follow me if you will, alone in a cottage far out in the woods.
A man sits on alone on his porch. The sense of peace and the solitude. WHAT COULD HAPPEN?
Gun fire breaks out from all directions and the man falls to the floor of the porch as the sounds from a bull horn echo throught the woods. This is the FBI surrender or we'll shoot.
The Irony.....

Well, considering that we are pretty insignificant (2 Billion Chinese dont care if you live or die), and that our lifespans are just the tiniest fraction of time, this all just fits into the fact that we really arent as individually important as we believe that we are... nobody will remember 99.9999% of our names 150 years from now... oh yeah, and 150 years from now, everyone that is currently alive will be dead- and so will a lot of their children, and even a number of their grandchildren.

That's really deep, chic. But a person can't foresee the future so a person should forgive themselves. That's a heavy burden to carry throughout your life. I always say I love you at the end of my conversatons too, but only if I mean it.
