This is not the time for you to air your beliefs.

Believe it or not, this was not about you or your opinions, right or wrong.

There is a time and place for everything, you clod. This is not it.

His point is that having anger against someone or a group of people is meaningless because we all die eventually and will be gone from this Earth forever.

200 years from now everyone on this site will be buried in the ground and no one will even remember us for who we were. All of the actions that people commit on this Earth mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. It’s a nihilistic mentality but unfortunately it’s the truth

Right. Next time I'll wait for the loss of a loved one like the OP did.

I lost my 36 year old younger brother 3 days before Christmas and not a day goes by that I don't think about him and begin to cry. My son is 14 and behaves just like my brother did. I sometimes catch myself calling him by my brother's name. People say time will heal, but I don't know about that.

I get what he's saying. That's all true, but as we live on this Earth, we control the trajectory of the human race. Every generation does their bit.

If you look at it from an individual human, yes what you said it true.

But if you look at it from the human race, no I don't think that should apply. I did things at work, wrote policies, created programs that will be used here when I retire. We are where we are because of those who lived before us. And we try to keep good things going for those who come after us.

We all contribute to the human race and that somewhat determines the trajectory of our species.

Does that all make sense?? Not trying to argue, just looking at it from different viewpoints.

Because that’s clearly what the OP was talking about.

Guy just buried his kid. Plenty of other threads to be pedantic and obnoxious in if you simply can’t help yourself.

Yes I was guilty of holding petty grudges. My son's death has helped me see the folly of my ways. I also held opinions of how many segments of society were beneath me. His death has helped me to remove those feelings.

However, Auburn, Alabama and Ole Miss supporters are still dirtbags. Some things never go away. After all this is a LSU site.

Yeah I agree that our planet is a survival of the fittest world where people have to conquer in order to establish political beliefs, religions, laws, and ideologies. Nobody is questioning that.

But everyone has an instinctive fear of death instilled inside them, and we all have vices to help us cope with anxiety towards death. For example, my vice is Sex. I love women and I think physical intimacy helps relieve anxiety and helps homosapiens bond through times of trauma. Some people may use drugs, money or even religion to help them. If these things help us slowly accept death, and don’t harm our health, then that can help us get through life anxiety-free.

Mobile Josh, I believe you’re overthinking his response and making a “blanket statement” yourself. Take a breath on occasion.

This is the biggest fear I have in life, and you are living through it. Godspeed to you and your family on this next journey in your life, because I can only imagine how difficult it is.

I'm not sure how this pertains to my post. I appreciate the long, thought out post but not sure it is quite on topic.

Prayers for you and your family Haze. Cystic Fibrosis is a terrible disease, I had a niece pass away from it at 15.

Poster suffers unimaginable loss

Poster comes into familiar internet board for cathartic effect

Poster receives many well wishes

Poster posts again thanking everyone and encourages everyone to live without grudges as life is precious and very short

Two douches downvote and begin to argue

Fukn OT man...a microcosm of society

Thank you for such a kind message. I can't imagine what you are going through. It brings tears to my eyes to think of burying my child. Bless you and your family. You have more prayers coming y'all's way.

I am also from Spring. I would like to invite you to my church if you do not already have a place to call home.
