Originally posted by FreakyKBHPeople react to the inevitability of death in different ways. Most religionists react to it by simply subscribing to notions that involve denying death is the end, and then they take comfort from telling others that they are "wasting" their lives by not subscribing to their particular notions and denials.
Death is the 300 pound gorilla/elephant in the room for each of us, regardless of age or physical condition.
Greg was 50, I'm 50 but people die at every age.
It--- death--- sits like a constrained and highly-trained dog with a treat on its nose, anticipating its master's release.
We don't hold it back with our enthusiasm or even our physical vigor; we're at the mercy of the master between first breath and inevitable expiry.
