We're all dying. It's OK to want to try to live longer as long as it's not the overriding goal since, in the end, there's no way to live forever (and I, for one, wouldn't want to) but it's the quality not quantity that's important and I think people miss this fact.<br /><br />Great post.Andyhttp://www.vandainmilan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18171692.post-17489078414592618192009-12-01T21:57:28.654-05:002009-12-01T21:57:28.654-05:00"What's so important, precious, significa..."What's so important, precious, significant, worth defending about our particular lives?"<br /><br />Usually, someone is important to another person. <br /><br />I am not opposed to death, I contemplate that the sometime discomfort in my leg may be deep vein thrombosis but do not do anything significant about it.<br /><br />But I can panic (sort of) about the lives of people around me and from that I can figure that my death (at least an untimely one) would upset them. So in my conceit I have some sense of preservation to avoid the worst scenarios.<br /><br />The child that you quote would have relied on instinct; she wouldn't know as you believe that there is nothing beyond death. What she must have known, like the Jew, is that life is beautiful.<br /><br />I suppose it might all be about balance and everyones place in life as a whole. I know that death can be an agonizing hole and that it can be a beautiful transition. For the sake of society I prefer the latter.Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18171692.post-54533620606372255312009-12-01T17:30:06.454-05:002009-12-01T17:30:06.454-05:00My wise sister says in response to folks like you ...My wise sister says in response to folks like you who claim we're only specks in the universe: "Have you ever considered that the universe might be just a small speck in you?"Lucynoreply@blogger.com
