So you think the absolute and ultimate goal in life is to arrive the happiness. In the process whay we do is not so important. If you wish drink till die if it makes u happy, or wish to be a health crazy.
By the way i am 29 and have been drinking alcohol since my 18, my alcoholic career covers 11 years. I stayed in psyciatry services 8 times etc. My purpose of saying this is that i wanna see my 70s if god doesnt cause any accident. Because of this in these times death is in my mind.
I again believe that the uphill we find in our path through life, makes the journey worthwhile.
I had stage 4 cancer 7 years ago, and am now in remission for 6 years. The chemo was a hard thing to go through, but I learned it is the medicine that made me well, whilst it made me feel sick.
I embraced it.
I learned that there are others who were not as strong as I, and they did not make it.
I learned there were cancer patients who appreciated my positive thinking, and my advice. They learned that cancer can be fought with a positive mind, or at least go down with a fight.
I learned that I was not alone, and the horror was not to receive the treatment, but to know I will recover, only to anyhow die one day.
But the best thing I learned was, I have my family and children who were having much more stress than I.
To me, death is nothing.
Due to me being a theist, a Bible believing one, death is not the only thing in my life that is for sure, but the state of immortality that will follow.
Simply an exchange of a mortal body, to one that never dies, covered in radiating light, sexless, with ultimate knowledge.
Living among every being who were born on this Earth and died, knowing them all, travelling through the whole universe, and beyond. learning the secrets of creation. Knowing the ultimate Creator who told me about all these incredible things.
Wish full thinking, some will say.
Really?
