We are all going to die. The sun, a star, will die out one day and life on earth as we know it will be gone. Everything comes to an end. That is reality.

The biggest problem on earth is that there are too many people. All the other problems stem from that - over population.

The root of anxiety about TV programs like that is our fear of death. We will all die. We should die. We could not sustain a planet where no one died. Science keeps trying to find ways for people to live longer and longer lives. This is not practical. We all need to think through things a bit more thoroughly and realistically. If science becomes so successful in keeping us all alive, we'll have to start setting a cut off point on the age to which people can live!

As I get older and the doc prescribes more and more pills for me, I think, "So I'm taking lipitor to prevent a heart attack or stroke... so I can die of... CANCER?!!!"

Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure.
Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
Thanks for this!
