(eg accidents and death) what would happen if you died today? who would miss you? what would happen if you were single? married? partners? dependents? extended family? and friends? would there life carry on as normal? would they miss you? would they be there to support you in your time of need ...eg accident or illness? or whoever needs it? who would you turn to for help in a crisis? food for thought i guess. beetle	beetle (243)
477229	2006-08-09 00:00:00	what would happen if you died today? . . . . . . . . . . . . would they be there to support you in your time of need . . . eg accident or illness? or whoever needs it? who would you turn to for help in a crisis? Usually when people die, they are fairly dormant, and don't go looking for help . Well, that is what I would have though, but I have never experienced it myself .	mejobloggs (264)
477230	2006-08-09 00:08:00	sigh . . . . . . . . . . . . . i know i talk drivel at times . . . . . . . . . . . but this is something that again has hit home . . . . . . . . . . . . . who in my real life . not pf1 would miss me? anyway they are all questions . . . . . . . . . :p not all linked to you specifically dieing . . . . . so youre saying that theres no after life? :p i dont know either . beetle	beetle (243)
477231	2006-08-09 00:15:00	Heres another . What if you knew when you were going to die? What would you change before then? Its true that at your funeral they never say "Gee he made a lot of money when he was alive" or " Boy he worked so hard in the office" . Rather they remember the relationships with others and the kindnesses of the person . This is more than a retorical question for some . . . .	netchicken (4843)

477234	2006-08-09 01:57:00	I know the G/F would miss me (I am the only thing keeping her sane with the kid lol) I know my kid would initially miss me (she is 2) but over time she would likely forget who I was (and its this thought that scares the hell outta me). I know this as I have a hard time remembering my father and I was 21 when he died. Parents will miss there kids, even if the relationship is bad, there will be some part that still hurts. Its just a fact of life, as is death unfortunately. My father told me this once: from the day you are born, you are dying. Took me ages (years) to figure out what he meant, but he's right. Death is inevitable, there is no way to bypass it, we just have to live with it (no pun intended)	Myth (110)
477235	2006-08-09 02:32:00	Your father wasn't an Iron Maiden fan was he Tazz?? The Clairvoyant Feel the sweat break on my brow Is it me or is it shadows that are Dancing on the walls Is this a dream or is it now Is this a vision or normality I see Before my eyes I wonder why I wonder how That it seems the powers getting stronger Every day I feel a strength an inner fire But I'm scared I won't be able to control it anymore There's a time to live and a time to die When it's time to meet the maker There's a time to live but isn't it strange That as soon as you're born you're dying Just by looking through your eyes He could see the future penetrating right In through your mind See the truth and see your lies But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise There's a time to live and a time to die When it's time to meet the maker There's a time to live but isn't it strange That as soon as you're born you're dying... ... and reborn again?

Is there balance in my giving and taking? Have I been there for others, if only to listen? When my body and soul begged me to leave, have I stayed and listened because somebody else really needed my ear at that time? Have I given freely of my time (within the limits of my own obligations) to others when they were in need? The one big truism of life is that we do reap what we sow, and that doesn't just apply to material things or incoming goodwill, it applies to what we have dished out, good and bad, and we all dish out some of bad stuff from time to time. A good person will always be missed; those who have been invisible when others were in need are quickly forgotten; and those who were always takers are remembered for the wrong reasons and pass unlamented. Not being a religious type, and therefore not anticipating an eternal afterlife in some ethereal place crowded with holier than thou types, to me, heaven is simply knowing that when you leave this world you do so in the knowledge that you never knowingly hurt anybody, and you did the best you could for your family, friends and the needy. Eternity is the loving memories of your friends and family, and your genetic fingerprint in your children. Cheers Billy 8-{) :)	Billy T (70)
