Most of us probably see it somewhat differently than they did.

funny world



I don´t think its all that funny mostly, but sometimes it is. Modern ( yeah
well, if you can call opium modern)drugs are so good that the pain is not
really an issue. The worst thing is experiencing the fear that others have
of losing their minds, or becoming "junkies".

They don´t care about the pain, or even about dying, but they really care
about becoming a helpless gibbering vegetable, or even just losing control
of their normal bodily functions. For many, the first time they lose
control of their bowels,is the worst thing that ever happened to them. It
does not "hurt", but actually it hurts worse than anything else.It is
demeaning, to a massive extent, and is the first real sign that one is
dependent on others.

Anybody who has experience of people dying of cancer, and tells you he would
"prefer to die of cancer" is either a liar, or an abject fool.

Of course, perhaps I just see it differently.
