A lot of people might have a better death if they let the first thing, that would take them, do it. I don't remotely mean don't do the logical things like control cholesterol and bp, but going to the next step might be where we go on past when we could have gone. My dad died younger than I'd want since he was 70 and so am I now. But he died having sex with my mother which for him was good if not for her. Mom died 17 years later from what I think was congestive heart failure. She did do the bp lowering but avoided doctors like the plague. She got the flu, didn't know she was dying, nor did we. She had been out cutting back blackberries only a few days earlier. Some do get good deaths; but some is how much is someone willing to do to avoid death? How frightened are they of it? There are some things we can't avoid but you made a good point-- something will get us. In some things we don't have a choice but in others we do. I guess none of us will know what we will do until we reach that time. A good death though is what we do all want.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
