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?

Recovering To Find New Happiness After The End OfA Long-Term Relationship

By Tracey McMillan

Moving on after the end of a long term relationship is tough for anyone. It can bring up buried feelings and make you feel overwhelmed. It's not easy to start fresh.

The dating word can see foreign to you if you've just come out of a long term relationship. The rules may seem strange or different from the last time you were looking for a mate. It can be discouraging.

Don't worry if you are feeling overwhelmed. It's natural to be conflicted at such a time. What you should do is realize that others are in the same situation and you can begin in a small way.

Take some time out for yourself. If you've just come out of a long term relationship it may be hard for you to find your way at first. You may be so used to doing things as a couple that you forget how to be single.

Think of this, as all about you. Take stock in yourself and decide what you're happy with and what you would like to improve. Do things that you have wanted to do but never had time for as part of a couple. Go the places you like, eat the food you want and be with friends of your choosing.

You may find that you might want to rethink your look before you get on the dating scene. Many times when people are in a relationship, they get complacent. They gain weight or stop dressing stylishly.

A lot of people tend to gain weight when they are in long term relationships. If that includes you, you may want to join a gym or go on a diet so you can be looking your best when you hit the singles scene. You'll feel more healthy and positive about yourself.

You'll know when you're ready to date again. You will want to find a partner to spend time with and if you are true to yourself you will be fine.
