What’s your philosophy? Today I walked past a woman smoking a cigarette outside. Another man...

I don't think we have total control over our lives, but we can certainly influence how it goes and what happens with our actions and responses.

I think people use "destiny" and "fate" as copouts a lot.

She's clearly never witnessed a loved one dying from cancer. It's easy to say those things when you've never faced such a grim reality.

Those are the same people who eat anything they want as much as they want and then when they develop diabetes say, Why me?

I know my genes are against me so that's partly why I choose to look after myself. Of course no one is in total control, but doing your part increases your chances of living a good life

I don't see a reason to speed up the death process or put myself at greater risk. I try to live healthy but I also live my life.

I do like to tempt fate and have done so plenty of times in my life, I do it in a way to test the worthiness of my existence.

I focus on a task and accomplish it efficiently and silently. It needs no words or any acclaim.

I do whatever because I agree with her but I don't smoke

When its my time that means my creator is calling me home

I don't believe in fate, so I stopped smoking

I’ve heard that excuse before: “Well, we all have to die from something.” I think, if you value your life so little, why not just go jump off a tall building ? You’ll only experience a little pain briefly when you land rather than months and years deteriorating in a hospital costing money, with your loved ones having to watch

I know I’m going to die, probably sooner rather than later. I’m not trying to rush it or make dying any more drawn out and painful with destructive, useless habits. 😔
