Your thoughts on prayer

For every famous person that dies, countless thousands, if not millions of unknown people die. One day, I'll be one of them....fact. I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about, one of the nicest things on earth is falling asleep, it's just preparation for death, that's all.

I think what everyone really fears is HOW they will die, and WHEN. I have so many better things to do than worry about it!!

You're right about falling asleep Andy, it is a nice feeling, whether drifting off when you're tired and in need of it, or having a general anaesthetic for medical purposes, it can be very pleasant, but the prospect of never waking up again from it, that's the scarey part. Never being with your loved ones ever again, never seeing any of the beauty of the world/ universe ever again, not ever.

The fear of how i will die is nothing in comparison to the fear of never seeing anyone or anything ever again, and that's what i believe death will bring.

I wish dying was like gently falling asleep, Andy.

For the lucky few, assisted by morphine, it can be. But for the majority of humanity, it's a miserable, fearful, painful experience - made even more miserable by virtue of the fact that it's the LAST experience.

Oops... sorry. Jason, not Andy.

I blame the fact that you look like brothers! 

Just want to say thank you Ruth - I try my best to be a good mom. The loss of your boy and the way you must have felt is unimaginable and when I first read it I shed a tear for you.

I hope both you and Sue G-F understood what I meant by clever and I didn't mean anyone to misunderstand how I meant it. Alot of the people who comment on this thread are very well read on there particular side of the argument. There I'm running off again - John scares me!!!!

That's what all the girls say, Stephanie. Story of my life.

I'm a pussycat at heart. Honest.
