'Death is not the worst of all evils'

[atsah]

I was injured in 78 so I am well aware of that time period and the attitude of people back then, also the accessibility was pretty much non existent at that time. I too spent many months in a 'Rehab" place and the attitude and care I received would make most people want to die but having the support of my mom and dad made all the difference. Can you imagine the look on the faces when I showed up for an engineering interview? It was priceless many times.. Took me too years to get someone to actually hire me.. You, your wife and people like myself were the ones that broke down the barriers for the people in the same situation today, they have it a lot easier than we did that is for sure..

First of all Death is not an evil, it is part of life. There are many things worse than death itself as many have already mentioned. I think living forever and watching everyone you love pass on is far worse than anything else I could think of.

Funny. Of all the near death experiences I have read of (and I have read a lot), not one individual ever wanted to come back here! Not on account of loved ones or any other reason.

Everyone wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to go today.

Last night I visited one of my oldest friends in the hospital. He is stage 5 lung cancer and it has spread to ..virtually everything in his body. He has maybe ...days left. It's painful to see. Just 6 months ago he was undiagnosed and 49 year old 6' tall 210 pounds. Today he is unable to do anything on his own and probably 140 pounds of skin and bones. ..The cancer and treatments have eroded his body beyond what I can articulate. Not being in that position myself I can only speculate as to what my actions would be..but I don't think I would want to continue suffering as he is. It's a horrible horrible horrible disease.
Passing may be a blessing. The pain would be over.

That's a tough row to hoe, when you see what cancer has done to your friend, you know life can be cruel.. I certainly would not want to continue suffering because the result is the same, what's the point, it's going to kill you regardless..

They need a LIKE button on this site. They can save a paralyzed person today, if they get them early enough. If not save them, they are a lot better off today.

I knew a person that had a near death experience.

Eldon was his name, older gentleman. He got very sick and ended up in hospital where he "died". He told me that the pain was unbearable, and he was ready to go. He said an entity, he thought of as an angel, asked him if he was ready to go, he was, but asked about his family that would be left behind. The angel said they would feel great pain and were not ready for him to leave so he ask if the pain would stay and angel told him it would go away, eventually. So ok, bring me back to the world.

I'd known Eldon since i was a youngster and was absolutely amazed at his story. He'd never professed any leanings religious or otherwise. Another interesting thing was, and i saw this, he's talking to a slender young women and tells her congratulations about her unborn child, she looked puzzled and said she wasn't pregnant, later I came back into town talked to her months later and obviously pregnant, she asked me about Eldon and said what a sweet man he was and how did he know she was pregnant.

I have never understood these kinds of things but I have no reason to doubt them either. It seems there is ways of communications beyond the 5 senses.

Read "The Energy Cure" by Bill Bengston about healing cancer. We do indeed have a LOT going on outside of our senses.
