Do we take our mortality too lightly?!


Question: Do we take our mortality too lightly!?
Three score and seven
A promise given
A long life span
Is in God's plan

But too soon we die
I say with a sigh
Whose life is too long
To remember the song!?

I'll fight for each breath
Til overtaken by death
Given happiness or strife
I will still choose life!.

Early this morning my wife received a telephone call from a longtime friend and co-worker!. Her husband, who is about 8 years younger than me, is in a hospital near San Antonio dying!. My wife teaches a class and will leave early to go support her friend!.

Sad, what a sad way to begin a week!. But I am alive and well and plan to stay that way for a while and hope all who read this feel the same way!.

Don't take a single minute for granted, friends!. Life is a gift!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I am sorry to hear about your wife's friend's husband!. To share the burden of someone special dying is one of the hardest things to do!. To appreciate the little niceties in life is something that is also difficult!.

We are so fragile, so foolish in so many ways!. We obsess over having things in life which carry no substance, no purpose - but only for a moment in our sad pathetic lives, which we take for granted!.
Instead of writing letters to our loved ones or traveling with our families while we still have time on this earth, we are on Yahoo Q & A, we are waiting for the latest cell phone to hit the shelves or the latest Wii game to go on sale!.!.!.
We are so preoccupied with monetary things and spiteful ways that we lose our sense of what's important: Life, substance and purpose!. We spend less time volunteering in our communities than we do watching the television!. We are so embedded in pop culture and the latest fashion, we are blind to our neighbor who is losing their home to foreclosure and the sloping economy!.
This is why we are cut short of our lives!. God's plan is for us to get the most out of what we have and learn the most while we are here - to create a substance for ourselves and our loved ones!. Unfortunately, we don't all get a chance to exercise this right while we are on earth - and our chances at making a statement are sometimes slighted!.

Great poem!. Fighting for life sometimes means taking inventory on what you can do and making every moment count!. It is what we do with this gift that makes us who we are!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dear Warren,

I am very sorry about your friend!. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family; surely pearly gates of heaven await him!. My hope and prayer is he is not suffering until he goes to heaven!.

And for you and yours, I wish long life, health, happiness, peace, and serenity, now and forever!.

Beautiful yet very sad poem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I don't, I Have out lived far too many, loved ones, friends, etc!.
For that matter death knows no time,when or where, or age of birth!.
Natural death may come as a surprise, yet never a shock!. When it is close to home it touches us more to ponder on!.

Yes, life is a gift, unless one is thermally ill, in nothing but pain, Some
times death is welcome and does not come!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Great poem once again warren!. we do take life for granted!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes WarrenD, I believe we do!. I have been studing the last few months about things that came into my life since my Partner of 12 yrs!. passed so young (45)!. I just had a set of vids from you tube come upon my e-mails, 20 in the group, about 9 min!. long each!. If you just listen + do not jugde maybe enough humans will start awakening + help cause a shift in the vibration of this Earth!. The Vids are Pleiadian Keys to the Living Library!. everything, WarrenD fits the info that I have been digging up!. At first I faught the information because I was like you deeply Religous, but after my son told me he thought he was gay in 7th grade, I froze up and ask my mother !? just like the movie that aired Sat!. night on this topic!. I ask !? she did not want to even hear!. "Is my son going to hell because he is GAY!?" was a big one!. It made me hear my partner that passed whisperings +allowing me to gain knowledge about why we are here!.< Even to the area #51 info that came to me the other day about the caves the creations of Reptilians +the genetic research going on in that facility!. friends of friends that are gone missing since they revealed this Secret Place of research between these creators of the highly evolved species!. They were the ones that came up with designs of these living Beings (connected to us for we are also Immortal) Our minds have been given amnesia to keep up from hearing those whispers, meds!. and floride given to mess with our pineal system (to mess with OUR DNA) that is how our recepters are coded through our DNA!.) Too many of us are coming out of the amnesia state, something had to be done to keep us from knowing we are all SPIRIT + our souls have been since infinity)!. If you would have told me 10 yrs!. ago about this I would have laughed you in your face, But since my "R" left things came into my life so fast, he knew I was awakening becasue we both were, therefore it was an open gate for him to whisper through to me, allow sights to come up on this new tool I learned in Couple days so I could hear the Oprah Web event that changed my life even more + ;earned PC NAVI!. in couple Days!. It is the most exciting time + Love, Forgiveness are two things that bring up our vibrations!. Some one told me that he wished people would help each other to save their homes in this crisis, in one on these vids!. she talks of how with so many giving up their homes + loosing them, people can get together + unit + talk and learn about helping humanity, these things would help those cabal that have been greedy + sold us off like chattle-our birth certificates are on the stock exchange+ now our stock has become like a virus worthless "The FEW" want to liquidate us!. Take your New birth certificate to any good broker and that number on it can be pulled up + see how much YOU are worth!.(we ARE IMMORTAL)

EDIT: I wanted to say your poem is lovly as always, Now write a New One for me, We DO NOT LIVE Or DIe, We have been created from infinity!. I look forward to your studying of things I wrote, WarrenD I have seen you grow as you write these !? + beautiful Poems + share with us much wisdom you have learned!. I thankyou from my heart!.

thanks!. i totally agree!. most people take health and life for granted!. some friends i know just smoke their *** off thinking they look classy and cool!. oh well, it's personal preference!.

it's always sad to have a sick loved one!. My mother had a breast cancer operation 4 years ago and now she's experiencing the side effects of the operation!. i always look at it positively though!. breast cancer is not and never will be a good thing, but if it wasn't for it my family would not have been as close and health conscious as we are today!. it also made me realize that at 22, there are many possibilities i should be exploring while i can!. again, thanks for this post!. it's a good read for the night!.

i read this lens in squidoo and to be honest, i'm helping in promoting it for good health!. you may want to check it out in case!. i pray for everyone's health!. :D
