Charlie Kirk lies deceased in a coffin.

He is rigid. Cold. Filled with formaldehyde. He no longer bears the visage of Charles Kirk. He has come to resemble a waxen figure. Very soon, he will be put in the ground. Alone. For eternity.

Do you comprehend the nature of death?

I cannot say that I mourn his d3ath, but for the question at hand -

It is a little difficult to grasp. Later in life, even around 50, it is something that is never far from our minds.

@HoeBag I am 25. I think about it.

I was a medical student, where it is natural to think about it.

@yestestvennaya I guess you have seen it in action if you have had to care for aging patients.
But yeah, the older we get, the more thoughts cross our minds.

With those close to us, the best thing we can do is end each interaction on a positive note. Not holding grudges, not trying to get the last word. It doesn't mean we need to have some sobby lovey moment at each end, but just wrap up disagreements quickly. Even a "Alright, yeah we will talk tomorrow" suffices.

With those I have cared for and lost, luckily our last interactions were positive. I cannot imagine being in a fight and later hear that something happened and we never got to say "I am sorry".

But yeah with Kirk, there's a lot of heated debates about that situation. I prefer to keep my own off this thread cause yeah, a lot of strong opinions on both sides.

@HoeBag A thoughtful response.
