When you are young, death is very scary but you feel invulnerable so it remains an abstract idea that only exists in the distant future. When you get past 45, every pain in the chest, blemish or just about anything becomes a cause for concern. Ultimately, as you age you become more worried about leaving your wife and kids behind rather than your actual death. That said, I wouldn't want to live longer than any of them.

Yes. When you are young, death is very scary but you feel invulnerable so it remains an abstract idea that only exists in the distant future.

We have two main problems in life. One's dying too soon. The other's living too long. If I knew which applied to me it would make planning a lot easier. Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

In layman's terms you are right
Here goes
Your kids mourn your death
Your kids kids or grandkids will mourn
After that your the old git in the corner that pisses himself.
That's the reality.
Also don't live trying to give the kids a start you never had.
Screw em and sell up for quality of life.
If they don't like it then that shows the emotional genes you passed on.
Leave enough for the funeral and if you can help without putting yourself in the gutter while alive all good.
Mine know that I will put myself in front of the bullet but a time comes when it's your life to live.
They got theirs and the cards are dealt, it's how you play the hand.
Miserable git ain't I!!!!

I have no religious affiliation. I just think, like Gloria Gaynor, I will Survive (unlike SJ's underpants, which are probably beyond repair) You'll still be out in the woods peering through people's windows with binocs for a while yet 'old boy'. Do you still carry the dog lead and shout fake calls whilst oggling Mrs Big Bangers at No 59? Wait until you're in the 50 club, death is all around around you on TV and radio ads. Sorry about your brother and the mutt, still think about mine every day, 9 years on. Edited by Boooo (24 Mar 2018 2.01pm) I refuse to believe there are that many people out there that can't spell. Too f**king lazy, that's what I think.
