and for Gods sake, stay off of the moon!!

People that were on their death bed were asked what they would change if they could "go back". Most said, in essence, that they wish they would have done what they didn't when they had the chance. So after learning of this I started to just go out on a limb and do what I want to try. Go where I really want to go etc. Hind site is 20/20.....I try to pretend I've come back to "now" and do what I would be glad I did versus what I would look back and feel like "i should have". I'm almost 58 years old and I spend money on what makes me happy. I try to travel to places that I want to see, no questions asked.

ETA- and thank God/higher power for the opportunities that present themselves. Also forgive myself for what I feel I've done wrong. Love and try not to hurt.

Any of you have any advice on how to accept this inevitability and not let it stress me out?

everyone and everything dies. Comfort yourself that after it is your time, you won’t know about what you’ve left behind. The gift of consciousness ends mercifully at that point.

Enjoy the day you are given

Life on this earth is fragile, but real life begins after this one.

Most people don’t really contemplate their own mortality until they get to a certain age or contract a terminal disease. Most people live in denial to a certain degree.

The Truth is out there and it is beautiful. We all have Life in us and a chance of living together with Christ for eternity.

You hear it every day. Teenager dies in a car crash. Someone overdoses on drugs. A child is diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and dies shortly after. Someone is riding a bike and is killed by a passing car.

In other words, death is all around us. These are but just a few examples. It’s hard to accept that a person can be here on the Earth one day, and then gone forever the next.

This has been on my mind a lot lately, how life is so fragile and can end any day. Any of you have any advice on how to accept this inevitability and not let it stress me out?

Accept you finite life and thank your Creator for letting you being here at all.

What is that, Italian?

I think OP is stressing over dieting all of a sudden or in some random way that’s undesirable. Everyone knows they will pass but would like to do son on their own terms, peacefully and content

1. Obtain life insurance license 2. Sell life insurance 3. Spend all day reminding people about how fragile life is. 4. Get 9 “no” answers from people who spend fifteen minutes filling out a form to get life insurance because they don’t have any yet. 5. Listen to 6 of those 9 “no” people tell you about how they’re healthy so they won’t die anytime soon and will just revisit this later. 6. Sell 1 policy for a $600 commission. 7. Repeat steps 1-6 for the next couple hours of the day until you get that next “yes”. Life sucks and is fragile. Make a living off of it. If you’re real lucky, you’ll do it long enough to come across the situation I had a few months ago - customer buys a policy after putting it off time and time again. Two hours later, he gets on his motorcycle and dies when someone runs the red light. Boom - success story you get to tell to others all day every day, only for them to assume you’re making it up for a quick sale. I’d like to close with this: if any of you SOB’s have been my prospects and told me no, I hope you die on your kids birthday without coverage and I hope your wife has to sell the house and move into a rental trailer until she finds a man with a bigger dick to live off of.

This is the kind of energy I like to see on this board

Like ole Gus McCrae said, “life is short, shorter for some than others… the best thing you can do for death is ride off from it.”

Everyone gets their ticket punched. Better enjoy the ride.
