Hell? Really?
Well I'm sure it's no picnic, and when the shit is hitting YOUR fan, it must feel really crap.
.....However; people who are over 45, have lived something of a life, and actually can and should be thankful to get that far.
Personally, I am over that age by a few years, and comparitively, very fit. I have to consider this as a real bonus in life, and whatever happens from here, compared to much of the people in this world, I can NOT complain. I might think I had a time where things weren't excellent - but all in all, I made it a lot further than so many people.
I know a couple of friends with a little girl who was born with Cerebral Palsy. She WON'T be going to the ball tonight with any ugly sisters. She WON'T be walking the dog. She WON'T be kissing any boys. She WON'T be playing outside, dressing up in Mum's shoes, watching anything on tv, looking at the rain out the window....... etc.
She will be sitting in a wheelchair, she will be communicating with an electronic pad. She will only be sitting up or laying down courtesy of outside help.
That, I'm afraid, is somewhat closer to hell. Maybe her only 'luck', is that she's never known anything else, that she really doesn't have a heaven to compare with her life.
My life is heaven. If I die tomorrow, mauled by rabid dogs and then set fire to, it has been a life to be thankful - BLOODY thankful for.
Yes, there might be HELL in some aspects of life, and in some aspects of death and dying. Sometimes we must be thankful for the opportunity to have lived to experience it.
We are at the top of the species. Most of the earth's creatures, are FOOD for others. Some die being eaten - for them, luck might have been dying BEFORE they were torn apart.
Sorry for all of you for whom life hurts. It's a serious game we entered into, and I'm being serious here - we of mankind who can function, who have lived ANY sort of modern life, can sit down and thank good heavens that we have. Even while in hell.
