To live or not to live

Hey! I'm old! At 62, I didn't think I was! My husband and I have vastly different ideas on this issue. He believes everything and anything should be done to keep a person going, no matter what. I disagree. If I were a burden, and the outlook were bleak, I'd definitely request that no heroic measures be taken at all. I'll do all I can to remain healthy and active, but if I can't have a quality life, I think my time is up.

To live or not to live.......... Well friend, here is the deal. Your family members all love you very much I"m sure. So what you need to do is keep the faith each and every day that things will turn around and will get better. Most people do not realize it but there are a lot of physiological changes that can take place inside of your body simply based upon the way you are thinking. Will you see the glass as half empty or half full? That would be your perspective on life. Will you continue to try to see it in a positive light or negative? There is nothing that you can do about the past. But as of right now you can choose to forget about it and look forward to the future. I can't really tell you how to handle your finances. But what I can tell you is that you do not have to allow money or rather the lack of it to ruin your life. You are about 70 years young give or take a few. This phase of your life I would consider the fourth quarter. It sounds almost as if you've spent your first three quarters, living it up. So why spend time worrying or regretting what you did or didn't do? It's over and behind you now. Your last quarter should be spent in ease if you ask me. Not in worrying. The future will take care of itself. But you need to continue to take care of yourself and it can start with positive thinking. Who knows you may even get another 25 years to live. Okay I know that the idea of our lives being lived out in terms or quarters might be a little bit difficult to understand. It's just something that happened to pop up in my mind yesterday. Then I started thinking about it. Finally I came to the conclusion that most human beings will get about 100 years to live at most if we are lucky. So I decided to break it down into quarters of time. The question is how will you spend your last quarter? Please don't spend it worrying my friend. Remember that worrying doesn't do us any good at all. Instead you can make a decision to live out your last quarter with the most positive attitude ever. You can do things that you've never done before and see things that you've never seen. Now don't try to tell me that you've already done it all and seen it all because most people rarely ever get to do it all and see it all. Well it's just something to think about as far as the quarters are concerned. Will you spend your last quarter trying to be happy or not? The choice is really up to you. To spend your time however you choose. For me I would like to spend mine trying to make a difference in someone Else's life I guess. Hopefully I still have a few more quarters to spend but none of us never know for sure when our last day will be here so why spend any time worrying over it. Do what you can to get your affairs in order and all that you can't do,don't worry about it. Your family will understand I"m sure because they are the ones that know you probably better than anyone else. For the last part of your question. I would definitely go to the hospital if the situation called for it. You may never know how things could turn around. So keep the faith and thanks for sharing. Happy mylot! PS: Hubby suggest keep on partying, no need to pucker out now.

When people gete old.Everything become sad.Maybe you always think you will be your family's bear.Especially when they get sick.I think it's ok, Don't think you will take your family suffer a good family number only care about your safe I think.You should enjoy the last end time of your life.

I try to have one more party than pull the pulg myself! I want to die happy not live miserably.

I am very interested to discuss the problem. First, everyone has his own life time and the right of selecting living method. The god is equity to all from certain aspect.Secondly,time cannot take back, so we need not to regret for the past, regardlessly right or wrong. Third, catch the present, do your best is important of all. so I suggest to take its course and do some meaningful things in the spare time.

Wow sounds like me! Well I have been the hospital several times, the doctors say just lose weight and your major problems will be gone. I will get my act together basically because I have hope, without hope then you may just want to leave this world. But then I would have to answer to God.

i don’t think all is lost. Nature and the human body has amazing resilience power and you should look to alternate medicine and therapy to make yourself comfortable. You may not be fully fit but regular exercise, controlled diet and a healthy mind can make you feel better. Also all these are not so expensive so they can be afforded. Your family members will also feel better when they see that you are taking the initiative to keep fit without expensive medication.

Wow, a tough questions. I think I will choose to live because everything happens for reason. I'm still alive so that I can still feel the wonder of the world and as a beleiver, I will take the time remaining to do repentance of my sins and mistakes. If I'm still able and afford, I will continue to have medication and if I wasn't, then I will try to strive and be strong. That's what I will do.

Yeah just can't think about such a situation.. But I can say one thing, I'm correcting myself now.. by having a healthy lifestyel.. and even at the age of 60 its not all over... Its never high time to correct yourself.. Go for traditional (ayurveda) treatments and a healthy life style (best food habits and exercise) you can still revive your health to be the one of the fittest even at 60. Well its easy to say.. but we should our best! The body's immunity is always the strongest weapon!
