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?

Be Alert On What To Do In Case Of Fire

By James C. Calvert


Fire can destroy almost everything from your home to your family. Fire can easily spread so quickly that it is almost impossible for you to get out once it has started. Luckily, you can have your home fireproof but it will also cost you a lot. For those who cannot afford having a fire safe home, these measures will help you guide you and your family to safety.

The most important thing to do when a fire breaks out is to get out of the area. So, always know where to go out when fire happens. Know where the fire exits are or in case you are inside your home, know where you can get out as quickly as possible.

A house can completely burn down in a matter of minutes and while it is still burning, you can still be inside trying to get everything out. If you do this, you might end up burned inside. Forget everything and get out of the house as quickly as possible.

Check the doors to see if there is smoke coming out of the sides or under. If it does happen, stay away or you might be exposed to back drafts or worse explosions. Try another exit if you encounter one.

When smoke fills the room, go on all fours and you will find it easier to breathe. Smoke is dense enough that it will never fill the entire room. Oxygen will be present as it will also be the cause why fire goes on. Take this opportunity to make your way to your safety.

If you find yourself trapped, find a way to call for help. Break any window and yell for your life. If you still have time, call for 911 and ask for help right away.

When the odds are against you, try looking for some sheets and cover the door to prevent smoke from getting inside. Break any windows so that neighbors can see that smoke is coming out from your house and they will be able to call for help.

A good rule to follow is to provide information that will help you get through such tragedy. The moment fire bursts and if you already know what to do, you are most likely able to put the fire out before it gets out of hand.

And lastly, you will never be able to survive a tragedy if you panic or you lose your mind. Breathe in and out and process everything. Then, put all of what you learned into action and you will find yourself safe.
