cerridwen Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Not me! For me, dying would be a relief. No more loneliness or feeling shunned. :(That makes me sad, D. I don't like to think of anyone feeling so lonely or shunned. Death doesn't scare me either. What scares me is being elderly, alone, and struggling. THAT scares me terribly. *sigh* I'm going to go look for a happy thread now.
whichwayisup Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I do my best not to "go" there and let my mind go into overdrive. It's too easy to go on a negative bender and get myself worked up about aging and death! It's out of my control. I recently turned 40. I'm no longer a young adult in society's eyes. But I feel young inside and still look young too.
fortyninethousand322 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I remember the line from "Authority Song" by John Mellencamp: "growing up leads to growing old and then to dying. And dying to me don't sound like all that much fun". The formula is simple: don't grow up and you'll never grow old. Sounds easier said than done.
Author Disillusioned Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 I'm sorry to hear. Makes me want to rack up 100 posts real quick to PM you. I actually feel kind of irritated that you'd waste your time doing that.
carhill Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Why does everyone on LS avoid discussing old age? Are we that terrified of growing old??? I tend to talk about it openly. What do you want to know? I watched it (life) end for a loved one last year at the ripe old age of 88. She had a great life. Happy to share
Crusoe Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Why does everyone on LS avoid discussing old age? Are we that terrified of growing old??? He's not on LS, but this fella had no problem discussing old age, he devoted an entire gig to it. YouTube - Dave allen on life.Part.1.avi
