any tips on not thinking about death?

@canusernamebemyusername well said.
If we dont face out demons , they controll us .💜

@Adstar @Thevy29 I was walking through bush with my wife and there was a steep gully that you had to run down and run up the other side. As I stepped off I heard the whirr of scales and saw it, and pushed my wife backwards but I had already stepped off and couldn't stop. It was directly between my feet as I ran about 10 metres down the steep slope. A 5-6 foot tiger snake - also in the top 10 world's most deadly. No idea how I didn't step on it. I ran half way up the other side away from it but now it was heading directly towards me. My wife thought to mention that also. I thought if it gets closer i can run down again. Then it turned around and slipped into an old car body in the gully.

@Abstraction And the Brits don't want to come to Australia because of all our poisonous things and I always assure them you won't ever encounter them. :D

@Abstraction I had three close encounters with snakes.. The one i posted above was only the first one.. I lived on a farm near a river i used to go down to the river on hot days for a swim and to build sand castles.. Anyway there was this fence i had to climb over to get to the river.. One day i was climbing up the post of the fence to jump down the other side.. As i was starting to jump down the other side i looked at the ground and i saw another red bellied black snake and at the last moment i push out from the post to get enough momentum to jump over the snake and land on the other side of it.. When i hit the ground i did a roll to get as far from that snake as possible.. I was like a super athletic ninja.. I had that surge of Adrenalin that made me make a super jump and made time seem to slow down heaps..

On another day going down to the same river i had passed the fence and was walking in the longer grass when i stepped on a fully grown Brown snake hidden in the grass.. A far far more dangerous snake then the red belly black snake.. fortunately the snake tried to get away and my foot was only on a small part of the snakes tail and it quickly slithered away.. I froze in fear and watch the huge snake quickly slither away towards a tree.. If it had not been able to quickly escape from my foot i am sure it would have turned around and bit me.. I was about 11 years old.. So i would never have made it back home alive if it had got me.. After i got my shite together i turn around and ran back home.. I did not want to be anywhere near that huge snake..

@Ryderbike “enjoy” is limited to humans? Really? Tell my dog that next time he gets some cheese. Tell that to the cat curled up next to my wood stove. I don’t think you understand what that word means which likely explains your pained and sour approach to life.

@redredred a dog is not a tree.

@Ryderbike Very good. Can you cite a definitive peer-reviewed botanical study that confirms plants lack all consciousness?

Funny .

But do you ever let yourself be vunerable ?
Does talkkng about politics and Mc. breakfasts sooth your aching soul? or is it a perpetual distraction from how your heart aches ?

You laugh , you jest , you make fun .


But no one is ALWAYS funny.
They break ,
They hurt ,
They desire ,
They want.
.... It's human to do so.

None of this you share.

You hide it .

And since you CANT, dont make fun of those who do.

Its not only 'not fair ' , its.....making fun of those doing what 'you're too afraid to do ' .

You have the most amazing mind, frankly - it blows me away, it's so intelligent and witty.

But..... It coverts a heart so vulnerable, it jeers at people in their own vulnerability.

Which, although you think is witty, is also cruel. (which is sad)

A smart mind you do have.... A smart heart.... Yet to be shown. 😔

Be caring some times.... It wont break who you are. 💜.... It'll only make you more.
