Death

[tinhuviel]

The elderly usually don't fear death because it's a welcome respite from all the memories of irretrievable moments, irredeemable regrets, and loved ones lost to the irreversible threads of Time.

Aren't you just a ray of sunshine? ;-)

I used to have a tee-shirt that said "I'm just one big fucking ray of sunshine." It mysteriously disappeared. Aunt Tudi is to blame, I'm certain of it.

Speaking of t-shirts, and rays and sun, here's the one I mentioned a while back...

Hail to the sun god...

Now that, my friend, is one groovy shirt.

After many depressing conversations with my Grandparents I'd have to agree with this. I don't know if it's a bad thing though; and I always sort of had the outlook that to fear death in your prime (at a reproductive age) is quite natural. Whereas to accept it in old age and decline is likewise natural and probably makes it easier to... well... die.

Exactly. And, as someone who is beginning to collect her fair share of the above, I am beginning to relate to the older generations.
