Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Things Not To Do During A Break Up

By Anne Torres

It is normal to feel confused and anxious amidst the salvo of emotions that hit you during the breakup era. You can't ignore them and you definitely do not want to bring on a bout of depression by keeping it in.

However, try your best to control your emotions to a level where you can think rationally enough to decide on the next step to take. A good way to do this especially while the breakup is taking place is to take a step back to collect your thoughts before taking any other form of action. You don't even have to respond immediately once you get the news from your significant other. Just give yourself a few minutes and take note of the next step.

Most people, myself included, have made the mistake of begging for a second chance and asking our significant other why he/she came to that decision. It is usually our first response and it is also very much the wrong response. Even worse is when it becomes you're only response by text messaging or calling every one or two minutes, rushing to their house and banging on the door amongst other irrational acts.

In doing so, you give up your position of confidence and come off as a weakling who cannot survive without your other half. You are effectively placing him/her on a pedestal above you which further separates the common ground you both once shared together. This is not going to get you anywhere closer to saving your relationship!

Never start rationalizing the cause of your breakup because it will lead to self blame and open up so many unanswerable questions.

More often than not, the reason for a breakup may turn out to be an extremely small problem that unfortunately blew up in proportion. Don't beat yourself down because it may affect your feelings in a negative manner towards your significant other when you do successfully win them back.
