Do you fear death?

If so... can I ask why you still fear death?

Family responsibilities?
Other people need you?
Unfinished business?
A general fear?

I don't fear death anymore. I don't know if that's a good numb feeling to have or a bad numb feeling.

Never used to but the world's gone crazy !
Everything GenX has worked for is being p*$$€d away, AGAIN by 'boomers still running our institutions.
Government.
Social housing.
Healthcare.
Banking.
Supply chains. etc
Ensuring most of us will drop dead at our respective workplaces with nothing to show for having been here.

Before worrying about death most of us will end up in a queue for retirement homes since we never earned enough to buy places of our own.
And even if we DID we'll have to hand over much of what it's worth just to be accepted into a care home denying our children an inheritance of our own making.

Death ? I'm too mad to give anyone the satisfaction.

@Picklebobble2 Lemme guess, you're one of the bitter X'ers that taught your millennial children all those lies, just because your parents divorced and made you a latchkey kid, am I right? 🙄

@Picklebobble2 Or was your father a Vietnam vet that tried teaching you discipline and honor, never letting you have a summer vacation, or so you claim.

@NativePortlander1970 Never claimed any of that trash and i resent the implication.
Simply stating that few in my generation are living the life you seem to think we are.
And THAT indicates YOU have a sense of entitlement YOU think we all share.

@NativePortlander1970 Again self entitlement and not a shred of recognition that others don't have it as good as you and that somehow that's down to different choices made.
You sound like the spoilt brat rich kid that has no recognition let alone empathy for people worse off than themselves.

@Picklebobble2 Actually I grew up dirt poor after my Dad died when I was ten, with an emotionally and physically abusive uber religious extremist mother, abusive older brothers, abusive extended maternal family a step father who used me as a punching bag, and thrown into foster care at 16, my mother choosing him over me. Most of my adult life I sacrificed so that others could have things, ofte giving my last dollars so that others could have gas money to get to work, while I'd walk to work because I wouldn't have those last dollars for bus fare . However despite all that, I NEVER let those things hobble me, I kept going even after I ended up disabled and on assisted oxygen 24/7 after two bouts of blood clots in my lungs. I'm a survivor, not a whiner, my main purpose in life is to help others, get them to laugh and smile, and battle trolls and perverts in the meantime.
