On the other hand, you also have people who went thru life being careful with their diet, life style, exercise and all that. And one fine day, they got diagnosed for lung cancer, and it was becos of a certian gene they carried, which made them prone to that kind of cancer, even though you dont smoke and seldom inhale 2nd hand smoke. And then life just changed, and your perspective of it. Why me, you ask? And worst of all, there's nothing you can do about it except wait till the drugs run out or you become resistant to it, and you wait to die. Life sux!

when one dies, does one dies alone or does the world dies with oneself?
likewise, when one is born, does one comes alive or does the world comes alive with oneself?

We feel the world through the nuances and the realm of our senses, it came alive at birth and stays with us until the moment of our death and yet it lingers.
The ultimate journey one undertakes must be take alone, for we came and though we took individual paths in life, so by these paths we shall find our way and return alone. But we shall not be alone, for death is the common factor that reunites us and returns us to the dust that we have came from.
My 2 cents worth.

People can eat with you, play with you but when you die, you die alone. - Thai Proverb (from my memory)

The feet feels the foot when it touches the ground - Ernest Wood, 1971

Brings to mind this song. Since we are all on this train that none of us can get off easily until our individual stop comes, i will just live every day as it comes, spend more time with my loved ones and continually challenge myself every day. Do the important things that matters especially to those i love and live life on its own terms so that when that day comes, i have very few regrets.

Dedicating this to all:

Be kind to ones loved ones before they are gone. For those who do not have anyone they love, then treat time as your loved one in this song.
Amazingly, when one is down and out, one has nothing but time yet when one is successful, there is never any time to spare.

Slow down and take time on its own terms and enjoy it while it lasts. Once its gone, its gone and its too late for regrets.
If one lives up to 70 years of age, one only has 25550 days on this earth before the last day comes.

Tks for vid.

Irony is, when you are the one who has been hit, you would wish you are not gonna die slowly in a protracted painful death, but that you can die like one of those who just dropped dead with cardiac arrest, heart failure, or simply a stroke which knock you dead and out. And all these, if you had enjoyed all those sinful diets instead of taking care.

Me thinks we were alive before the annals of time, and we will still be alive after this Earth has passed.

read this as a collective consciousness that living things possess, notwithstanding to the consciousness of the physical self. are unicellular organisms conscious of their existence? are atoms and molecules aware of their own existence?

so we die alone, the world continues... 多我一个不多,少我一个不少。
but isn't the world more alive when there's one more life?

Times have changed. I could not help but notice that many people actually start to jog, cycle or go to Gym when they reach middle age.

the increase in the number you see, is it due to an increase of the population? or an increasing number of people from the original pool?
