We are all going to die. It is a fact of life, or the other thing. |
|
I have never heard of one of our predecessors who didn't die.
So, I ask you, what is all of the fuss about? Why is it so shocking and crushing to some?

1. i know lots of people who didn't die |
|
indeed i know more people who didn't die than did die
one of my friends says that there are more people alive now than have ever died
so if somebody just invents a cure for that, we're cake

2. Well, since predecessor means "one who died before," that's a safe comment |
|
But I haven't died yet, and I'm not at all convinced yet that I ever will. So, suit yourself.

Sure, I'd rather live than die, but when I do croak over, there isn't too much I can do about it, so why worry over it?

6. I imagine the sense of loss to one's survivors could be profound, |
|
but I agree that death is as natural as living and is, in fact, part of living. :shrug:
