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?

Advice For Couples On A Rough Road

By Andy Meyer


If there is a situation that needs urgency, it is that where a marriage is hanging on fate's mercy waiting to crumble to pieces. This is the worst time to sit and do nothing about the situation. The best advice would be to get a forum where the man and woman can discuss what needs to change if the marriage is to survive. Look for a compromise.

The best time to have the negotiations is when there are no tensions. One should have an open mind when they are dealing with a situation like this. Be honest with each other and respect everyone's viewpoint.

If no agreement has been reached, you can let the discussions go on for a number of days. This will not be a big issue considering you have been together for a number of years.

In case both think that nothing can be salvaged out of your marriage, delve into the past and fish out those positive things that would justify your marriage to stay intact. Focus on the glory days and build on this.

After those have been discussed, you can now come back to the edge of the cliff and touch on the bad things that need to be addressed. Do it tactfully assuring each other that you are not pointing fingers.

One thing to remember is that the whole idea of having this discussion is to find out whether the marriage is worth to be kept. You are not after tagging names of culprits.

It is in this forum that either you will know things about both of you, which you did not know or you just did not think about. At this time, truths about you that you never thought of before will be flung at you. It will convince you more that communication is important.

No matter how bad things look on the ground, you should not give up on the marriage too easily. Keep all the efforts to save the marriage alive and functioning. Keep the communication channels open and discuss ways and means to get the heartbeat of the marriage beating back to normalcy.
