Touch of Death

So far, every thread I reply to seems to just fizzle out.  Not sure if it's me or what.  It all got me to thinking about death and dying.  Cheery topic right?  I've had people close to me die, it sucks.  However, there seems to be not only a great deal of angst about one's impending death.. sooner or later - death and taxes are the only sure bets.  I have also noticed a lot of hand wringing, crying, gnashing of teeth and other drama over other people's demise.  (I'm leaving the euphemisms for death alone, for now.)

I know I'm a cold hearted soulless bitch, and can easily write off the fact that I only give a shit about me as the underlying cause of why I don't care that so-and-so is/may/will/did die.  Am I the only one that really sees death as inevitable (aside from cryogenics  :D) and not something to make such a big fucking fuss over?

One question:  how close have you come to dying?

Another question, how many loved ones have you lost?

Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

I have to say, though, that if threads ending reminds you of death, you may want to run right out and purchase the entire discography of Nightwish, cut on yourself a bit, and dress like Robert Smith.

That being said, I don't care about you, either, other than the slight joy I will feel when you exit stage left, the same that I feel when any other primate finally decides to respect my wishes and get the fuck off my planet.

There will be great celebration and much ado over the nothing of your death which I hope comes quickly and painfully.

You could not have truly lost anyone you loved and still posted this bullshit.

Fuck off.

The smiley near the end of the sentence truly shows how hurt and genuine she is.

The withering threads just sparked up a thought in my mind that was already there.  Long story, but suffice it to say that locally there was a decision made to not save someone's life that had a few discussions going and had the thought up at the front of my mind.

Long since past my stage of pseudo-emo (emo wasn't coined when I was kind of doing it anyhow.)  As much as I loved The Cure then... well some things you just grow out of.

I am happy that I will at some point bring you pleasure, not planning to do so any time soon.

I aim not to please you on the dying soon and such.

Do you need a head count of who I've loved who has died?  All grandparents, Mother, Aunt, a cousin or two, in-laws... then if we get into the four-leggeds that I care for a fuckload more than any person I've met, well the count gets a lot higher.  So it could all be that I have anti-social tendencies.  Who knows.  Obviously you don't give a fuck.

How close is surprising the paramedics that you are actually alive and then being cut out of the wreckage?

...apparently not close enough. My experience is that the life you live becomes more precious if you're in danger of losing it against your will. YMMV, and obviously does. Casual, blithe commentary on the necessity of death and the inevitability of dying seems a luxury for those who aren't face to face with that certainty in real time, or at least to a large enough degree/length of time.
