When we first moved into our new home, my five year old would run next door everytime she saw the elderly gent who lived there working in his garden. He never seemed to mind and the two would chatter away. One day I said to his wife "I hope she doesn't drive him crazy with all her questions" and she responded "Heavens no, she's come to the right place ....He's got all the answers".
Wish I knew someone with all the answers. Sure have a lot of questions. Maybe all the collective wisdom of JoeUser can help.?
I wish I knew why so much time, effort, money, research, etc. is spent on extending people's lives rather than improving the quality of the time each of us is given. Why is death something to be feared and avoided at any and all cost? Especially when almost all religions promise that what awaits us after death is so much better than what 's here. Why do we deny a person heaven, forcing them to suffer day after day in pain, or in bodies that no longer function without artificial aide, or with a mind lost to dementia? When medicines cannot cure, why are they so often used to prolong agony?
