Nothing says more about a man (or woman) than his (or her) ability to face his own mortality.

Sorry, I forgot that last (or her). Were they even necessary?

I have lived to be 44 this year and have seen enough to know when the lights are out ...the show is over.I have had a lot of heart aches with loss of friends and family (suicide,drug overdoses,accidents and health issues.) I experienced theses losses and learned naturally about the psychology of how it effects me and saw how others where effected. Without any indoctrination of religion I was open to figure things out my way and not buy into peoples GOD TALK dance about everything. I see how people need to have a comfort area in the mind to feel better about loss or sadness of death.We are the only animal that knows it will die. Other animals get uncomfortable or sense the body is shutting down but do not contemplate its arrival.I feel that it is like sleeping without dreaming ...I do not remember anything at all (no sense of breathing,pain or feelings of any kind..till i wake up with a mean hangover haha).We are wired to have emotions and I have come to realize (with age) It is all brain chemistry. I remember my 1st love broke my heart ,I mean I could not go on!!! Till the next chapter of life came along and those feelings and thoughts went away along with so many girls and an ex wife later. My point about that is its all interpretation and my thought analysis is what makes the day or breaks it with people places and things.Some people marvel at the beauty of a baby and say Oh there must be a God. I say Jeffry Dahmer ( the serial killer) had parents that thought the same way about him also I bet. Its ok to feel sad about it (death). I hope that i keep those feelings because I would be worried that my brain was freaking out!, and on the other hand if I stayed that way I know to get to a doc and check for depression and get some MEDS. This is a mean ole world that really wants to kill us (scientifically speaking) I guess I try to be a seasoned vet as a human and take the path of least resistance and ride the wave of life. I tell ya i feel a whole lot better now knowing where i stand.Less head trips.

we have a life filled with friendship, experiences that change your out look on life, memories to celebrate, love, beauty and creativity . Who could ask for more?

yes, we die after living our lives the best we can. but even after death our decaying bodies become one with the earth and influence growth.

lets call this, Pageithesm.
Pagan view of death...the soul becomes one with nature and is reborn, mixed with atheism....there is no soul, but our body is nutrient for plants.
