    Every time I think more or less. We are such limited creatures. Not only in life span but also in communication. We are limited to such slow, monotonous, linear, and simplistic speech/text. If words could have the complexity of thought then we would be far beyond what we are now.

    I have no need to "contemplate" as I have accepted it. It has had a positive effect as I now live each day knowing that it could be my last. I have done that which I needed to do, said that which needed to be said. I am happier and live my life to the fullest without whoring or contemplating the inevitable.

    Think about it!

    Nope i dont im a serviceman. If i am to be shot tomorrow id simply be badly injured or dead, its that simple. My job is to do or die not to contemplate my death! or to reason why. As for moody or not that does not matter to a bullet. My state of mind is therefore get the jundy before he gets me or another in my patrol. Very simple concept to understand isn't it. (DO OR DIE carry out my orders, do not reason why)

    I try to think about it as little as possible because it does negatively impact my mood quite a bit.

    at pretty random moments i find myself thinking about the possibility of being crushed by a falling tree, or randomly shot...or other strange events. I dont know why. I tend to be rather apathetic about it, honestly.

    i'd imagine it really is being sacrilegious to spit on life basically because they're without a "spark of the Holy Spirit." life remains a useful present from someplace, and it really is in common words as astounding as you're making it. to not take advantage of it really is wasteful not less than! To me it style of sounds like a number of those excessively non secular people are very nearly obsessive/compulsive psychopaths. They open their mouths, or (in YA case) commence typing, and all this gobble-dee-guck comes forth like "Holy of Holies" and "Almighty" and different corny words that they are copying from Falwell and Swaggart .... and that is what i detect maximum pathetic. absolutely everyone who tries to sound like an evangelist ON purpose has completely and irrevocably lost their techniques. i respect life. the international is eye-catching, all round me. i'm able to opt for to have a good time with it, or i'm able to opt for to have a hissy fit and get all dramatic and dogmatic and petulent. I stay without concern. i'm not petrified of demise. I do what i imagine is nice and don't be disturbed about no matter if i'm being "conceited" or "proud" contained in the "eyes of the Lord" or any of that non secular crap. i do not kill, thieve, envy or eat strawberries out of the produce section without procuring it. I do swear each so often, yet by no skill in the front of seniors. i'm getting mad, I chortle lots, i respect my baby, I easily have good pals and that i help the undesirable in extra innovations than basically throwing money in a basket it really is handed to me. I discern, if there's a GOD, He won't be able to be as stupid, petty and "human" because the psycho-non secular are and if I ever die and finally end up going to Heaven and that i'm presented earlier Him... i will say, "Wow! there's a God!" And he will basically wag a finger at me and say, "No Angel sweet for YOU as we talk. yet i respect you besides."

    Never, I know I'll die one day, I'll think about it when the time comes, don't want to ruin my good times thinking about not existing anymore.
