Death

Do you ever wonder how you will die or when it will happen? I was thinking about that several days ago, and decided I don't care, as long as it is quick.
Wow this got dark quickly!

Me thinks it started dark and never improved although adding the Dilbert was a nice touch.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity - RAH I'm old. I know stuff - JSOP

Dilbert went dark - darker - back around 2016, and never really recovered.

From the unique mind of the great Spike Milligan, RIP: ['I don't mind dying. I just don't want to be there when it happens' – The Irish Times](https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/i-don-t-mind-dying-i-just-don-t-want-to-be-there-when-it-happens-1.1052090)

So always look on the bright side of death A just before you draw your terminal breath Life's a piece of shit When you look at it Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true You'll see it's all a show Keep 'em laughin' as you go Just remember that the last laugh is on you

I was just thinking of a message I saw the other day "Mary had a little lamb" (between a sandwich). I am not sure where this fits in.

And the obligatory death joke… I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather. Nor screaming and crying like his passengers.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.
This is truly wonderful. I'd never heard it before. :)

That's what they say, but, unfortunately, there's no way to validate it. :sigh:

It was a pretty tough week. Got in a car accident, a guy hit me and then drove away. Then the house next door caught on fire. It is 15 feet away from mine. The firemen did put out the fire and save not only my house but the whole block.

I've just been through three years of lung cancer surgeries and treatments (chemotherapy, etc.). I didn't expect to survive, but I have. I thought about death nearly every day. I made peace with dying. A lot of the people in the chemo clinics were in their last days and headed to hospice. The one takeaway from the experience was this: Don't waste time. Death will visit you eventually, so prepare yourself. Then spend every other minute living. Work on that bucket list early in your life when you are healthy and can enjoy it. Peace out.

oh thanks for reminding, need to check up on my death clock [The Death Clock - When Am I Going To Die?](http://www.deathclock.com/) Friday, April 5, 2041 ok, so I survive 2038, aim to retire before this as don't want the hassle, sooo either I don't retire and die from the stree of fixing for 3 years, or that when some critical program finally trips up on unix time problem, interesting

I heard Adams interviewed by Sam Harris in early 2017. I have refused to look at Dilbert since then. He may be clever and know software dev politics, but he's belongs in a looney bin. (imo)

I consider myself lucky to not be a character in Game of Thrones. My swordplay sucks. Like really, really bad. I'd last less than half an episode. Other than that, I don't worry about things that are beyond my control. Like the timing and manner.

I sincerely wish you continued success. You are the only person to reply with a serious answer to my question. I lost my father to lymphoma, so secondhand I know what you have been through.

Was just reading about this recently, and a couple of books in this regard, are noteworthy. Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and the Past-Life Therapy That Changed Both Their Lives: Weiss, Brian L.: 9780671657864: Amazon.com: Books[^] https://www.amazon.com/Many-Mansions-Edgar-Reincarnation-Signet/dp/0451168178/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=many+mansions+by+gina+cerminara&qid=1669301220&sr=8-1[^]
It may interest you to know that in the (Theravadan) Buddhist tradition the mendicant, wandering, teacher who called himself the Tathagata (one who has gone there) ... aka Buddha ... never mentions reincarnation/past-lives. In the Malunkyaputta Sutra, the Tathagata mocks the monk Malunkyaputta for his questions about such things. [^]

I've heard one reason why certain systems do not mention reincarnation. To instill a sense of urgency and focus in achieving one's goal. If reincarnation is accepted, then there is likelihood of procrastination, saying that "There is anyway one more lifetime here". Of course there are other systems such as mine, in Hinduism, where continuity is told - that whatever spiritual efforts we put now, will continue in future lives, and that we will be born in such households which foster such continuity.
