SnailyBoy Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I know this to be true , as I have read a lot about it and have a faith which has told me this but it's not head knowledge it knowledge of the heart bring peace So the people that told you, could they be wrong?

milquetoast1 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 For anyone who's interested in death and dying, there's a really excellent radio programme you should hear. It's the Reith Lecture on BBC R4. American doctor Atul Gawande talks about ageing and death and how we're getting it wrong - and more importantly, how we can do it better. I urge you to take the time to listen to this - its 42 minutes and to comment on it here afterwards. I listened to this yesterday, thought it was very good. I agreed with almost everything he said, except for his response to the Dignity In Dying chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Hans Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 You're being a bit of a pessimist there, I didn't realise you were a player hater. I like to think that four out of five people will definitely have the death thing happen to them but, one out of five....ja bless, keep going. I hope.

Waldo Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 You're quite right about worrying. It's pointless. However treating our old people badly is surely something that we can do something about. Think I may have missed the point or topic of this thread, thought it was a general worry about death type thing. I wasn't intending to make comment on treatment of the elderly. Are they treat badly?

mjw47 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Well he did when he said "and the poor will inherit the Earth" He didn't say when though, did he? Patience is required, it's not over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autodippers Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 We were all dead before we were born, and we will all die again. Why do people assume we can be dead twice but alive only once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
