Yeah the grieving is cause of what the grief stricken person has lost, so it is kind of selfish, isn't it?
Very much so. It's all about us.
"I hurt." "I'm sad." "I miss them." "I wish they were still here."
There's also, "I feel bad for the family." But, that's still "I feel".
But, death is a natural thing. It comes to us all. There's no reason to fear it - and fearing it would be pretty fucking pointless 'cause it's not like you can prevent it. Death doesn't scare me. Now, dying in certain ways (which we've covered before) scares the ever living shit out of me.
I'm probably not gonna die in some horrific fashion. I'm probably gonna go out in my sleep, one way or another. So, I'm good.
I'm also pretty impressed with Sweden's new euthanasia tool. You get into a pod, press the magic button, and it fills up with nitrogen. Your brain panics when there's no O2, but nitrogen is one of those few gasses that bypasses that. So, you just push the button and fall asleep within the next 30 to 60 seconds. That's a pretty awesome way to go, I'd think.
I am sometimes scared when death seems to be imminent, cause I really don't want the ride to be over quite yet
Oh, man... I've had a lifetime full of experiences. In my lifetime, I've squeezed in enough activities for a half dozen lifetimes.
I've got nothing more that I need to accomplish.
I don't hate life or anything like that, but I'm ready to shuffle off this mortal coil. I'm recently married and have a new family member, so I'd like to ride a while longer - but I'm okay if I don't. It's not like I am missing out on anything. I've done pretty much anything anyone would want to do.
