If your time was short what would you do ?

[Garhart]

I am puzzled by your response. You have indicated that you have seen my other threads. You would be aware that I lost my wife recently. I not was dishonest with the description in my thread heading.

I have always believed in a fair exchange in life, and still do. Why would you would have come to this thread if you derived nothing from the others.

What was that you were expecting as, you waited for this page to load?

What I was hoping for was some perspective that was different than my own at the moment. I am hurting right now, and my support network consists of 2 siblings, that will not speak to me on the phone.
When they had their time of need , I did really try for them. I showed up, I cooked for them. I took care of arrangements and really tried to shower them with love and care.

I have received one text message from each of them.
I am always amazed at how poorly we can treat each other in my family, and I have never under stood why. Feel like I have tried to reach back and change this for the positive many times.
Acceptance can be difficult at times, and I will freely admit to have having a bit of a problem here - which is why I am looking for a shift in perspective. I am really sorry you find that to be such a bummer - but I do so hope that when you reach your low points in life, that you will have that which you find need for.

fast women and slow horses.......

on a more serious note. if I really knew the end was near I'd sell what I have, cars, home, boat, most of my guns, liquidate other holdings etc...

then I'd plan a road trip, take care of some old business.

instead of waiting for their inheritance my beneficiaries (including 2 ICMag members) would get it up front before any hospitals or insurance companies rape my assets. I'd take care of accommodations for my dogs.

make a few good charitable contributions and then

I'd finish life wandering down that path least travelled.......

I clicked on this thread without noticing you were the one that started it. I was very saddened by your loss and really felt your pain.

Now this thread makes me think you are going to kill yourself because of the loss of your wife or you have cancer and will soon die.

I have a lot of sad stuff going on in my real life. Threads like this pop up and I know I shouldn't click on them but sometimes people need to vent. Sometimes I might help them. But it still takes an emotional toll. Yet still I fell compelled to enter the thread.

If my time was short I will stop entering them. I need to stop now. I am super down on the world and how things turn out for people.

I need to stay away from sadness now. For myself and my family that counts on me. I can't lose the will to live. I need to stay positive and ready to do.

. Mid 80s I was in a max security cell, and had been for about 18 months. DEA was sweating me over a manufacturing arrest . The guard is a young black marine who is watching me. The guard sees me punch out a nerve on a tooth that he has known has been bothering me for the past six months. He knows the deal, I will not see a dentist until I am either released , or sent down the road. This young man is working for 8.75 an hour on top of his duty as a marine. I am middle aged white guy with long hair sitting there with what has been in the papers as one hell of a massive drug bust . He went out to a frigging walmart on his break and brings me back a large bottle of Alive . All he said was, you know it is my job if they find the bottle.
That young man was one of the most decent human beings I have ever encountered. He was Small, and he had heart.
How few are the people who are wiling to do something for others when it could be very expensive to them if seen, and no benefit to them if not, other than simply knowing they did the right thing on a deeper level. I have been very fortunate in that respect .

Personally i would get with a group of friends and spend the rest of my days stoned and carefree.

 

[m314]

I've been saving money and planning for the future for my whole adult life. I've had lots of fun, but I've been spending more time working than having fun.

If I knew I didn't have much time left, I'd take all the cash out of my retirement accounts and blow it all on drugs and escorts. I haven't touched coke since 2006, and I haven't paid for sex since before then. That wouldn't matter if I found out my time was running out. Why not go out with a bang? Why not have as much fun as possible when you don't have a future to worry about?

Reincarnated again? Man, I wish I had them superpowers like that. That x-ray vision must be fun looking at women too.

The only trout I could ever hook was a little brookie on a fly in a river up in central NY. Never did get any of those huge rainbows that would run up Grout Brook off Skeneatles Lake to spawn in the spring. Wiley bastards. Good eaten' though.

Wait a minute..I did catch some Brown Trout up in Adirondak Park in upstate NY when I was a kid though. Yummo. ....I usually only admit lieing when I'm caught.

not too many young people will understand where your head is at right now.
I can feel your pain and believe me when I say it gets better.

at times death is inviting. it's frightfully intrinsic to living too.

we all are on the same path towards that unknown destination, some of us further along. what we don't know is what makes death seem so frightful.

if you have not prepared yourself for this inevitability you cannot comprehend what needs be done to transcend death. death is not the end, it's where we all came from and where we will return regardless our preparations.

life and death are a cycle just like the day and night, lunar cycle, solar cycle, circadian cycle, etc. you will be recycled...how and in what form depends on how or if you happen to have prepared your spirit/soul/being.

disregarding, ignoring, or not believing won't stop the reaper, so the trick is getting your head straight about what you are and/or have been, whether you did what was right and decent, whether your life meant something other than satisfying your carnal needs and desires.

everyone gets depressed. it isn't exclusive of heads. your loneliness is self-imposed, but no less intense than incarceration. yet you survived that shit.

hope you can see the gleam of the next light in your life.

peace eternal.

To the man in grief, you can only try to be happy knowing you lived your life and made choices you thought were best at the point you made those choices. You always can look back at anything with super clear understanding after things happen. It's all past and gone though. But yuh, reaper visits everybody dude, sometimes when you least expect it too. Shit happens. Real shit. Man, I know. Sucks.

Me, I'm just happy I ain't dead now. If I knew I was going? Probably not much different than normal really. Cause it is coming for everybody sometime, really.

 

[stoned-trout]
