Or is it something that few ever think about about until they are struggling to take the final few breaths. My grandmother never let on. she just smiled. now, years later, i might face the same. how to die well is much written about in literature, but who lives like they might die some day? are politicians incapable of caring?

I bought some monofilament fishing line to drop things on those wild cats' heads when the pick on Impy, my cat. I drilled a tiny hole through the back porch window frame. with a tiny pulley attached to the porch roof, i can wait on them. now i remember how to have fun. they beat up my kat. better this than a 3006 scoped rifle for them.

The age when they decide there is no more fun to be had.
As in been there seen it done it.
There is always something new and something to look forwards to besides death.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and allow yourself to have fun.
Ok so one day I won't be here but why should that affect the days that I am here ?
I'm coming back anyway - just to annoy people !
Politicians die too and history isn't kind.

I don't think it's an age thing. When I was 16 I was convinced I wouldn't make it past the age of 18. Once I hit 18, I thought every minute was going to be my last, but when nothing happened I realized I'll never know when my time will come. Now I plan for tomorrow, but I live for today. I'm not sure I understand about how politicians fit into it though.

When you start outliving your friends, your mortality(I think that's the word I want) gets very noticeable. At almost 61, I have had 11 of my school friends and old shipmates (US Navy) die of various ailments. And of my older friends (10 years and up older than I), I've lost count the number of funerals for my friends I've attended. Add that to the fact that I ride with a group that attends (when invited) military funerals, mostly guys/gals killed in the war, my approaching death becomes more and more of something I think of.
Just 2 months ago, I updated my will that was made YEARS ago. I have a list of who gets what and what to do with certain things of mine.
I'm not afraid of death, but how I might die. I hope I have time to plan things out.

I think it's different for every person. I started to think about when and how I would die a few years ago. I am 33 now, my mom died when she was 37 my dad, 6 months later when he was 44. I was 18 when they died. Each had become sick. I lived with my dad and stepmom.
The only thing politicians care about is where the money comes from to fund their election campaigns, and the popularity polls.

it's not an age it a matureity of the mind. some people will hit it in their thirtie when they feel to much of their life has flowed by. some will know it from the day that they were born of they're impending doom and live and awsome life. some people with get a seriuos illness like cancer in their 20s, get over it, and cherish the rest of their lives knowing it's true value. but for the rest of uss it's burger king and sitcoms till it's too late. good bless america and it's ability to down play life.

There's no set age when one comes to understanding the limited time left. I've often contemplated the issue of approaching non-existence and haven't come to terms what is ahead afterwards, mainly because I don't know from where I came from before birth.

usally people become aware of the time they have left on earth when they realize they have a sickness or terminal illness such as cancer of anykind. Age is a big percent but there are 87 year olds that re alvie and well. but it usally depends on the person and there fear of death. im a teenager and i think about when i will die so. see it really ultimitly depends on the perosn.

No point in worrying about it as one thing for certain you cannot determin when you are going to die (unless you intend committing suicide). We laugh at my dad as it seems like 30 years since when referring to household furnishing saying he won't renew in his words "No point in me buying I haven't long to go". He is now almost 90 and so many of the people he considered 'young ones' sadly are dead and he is still here, so whether you start worrying in your 20's, 30's 40's whatever there is really no point.

I am 28 and I think about his often. I want to be right with God before I go but I keep procrastinating I mean I believe in God and know right from wrong ,but sometimes I just choose wrong. I wanna make sure that my family is accepting God too.
