  • Reflecting on when my uncle passed away
    Even if you're accomplished, kind, and do well in life. It all just ends the same.

    Thanks for sharing. Your uncle's story is very poignant still today. It reminds me of Plato's Cave. He saw thru the handlers' illusions and told people what was really there and was rejected for speaking the truth as most can't stand to have their illusions shattered. I'm a civil engineer and began telling people about the real system a bit after nine ll and am now in pretty much the same boat. Those lies are so many and so obvious but still people swallow them whole bc the truth pretty much exposes the whole shebang.
    And so it goes, as Kurt Vonnegut used to say.

    I used to live with my uncle for a couple of years and we both where alcoholics. We weren’t good influences on each other. He was 12 years older than me and when I moved out he lived by himself for about a year before he died at the age of 44. Now I am the same age as he was when he passed and I think about it often. I continued drinking for a couple years after he passed and finally had enough of being sick from it constantly ending up in the hospital. Don’t know where I am going with this but in a way I feel responsible because he didn’t have anyone with him and we both suffered from depression and drinking 24 hours a day and both were addicted to various other drugs. He did die a unfortunate miserable death from drinking and he never mentioned how sick he really was to me or any other family members.

    In 100 years, no one will know anything about who we really were. Not even our direct descendents.
    Strangely comforting.

      People tell me that children are the best legacy. I tell them that achievement is the best legacy.
      People remember romans from so long ago... but not because their kids survive, it's because of what they achieved during life, and what they said.

    We die and nobody cares. If you're lucky you can find something interesting and challenging to do to pass the time before its your turn. EIther way once we're dead we don't need to wake up into this nightmare world anymore. Good luck out there my mans.

      Agreed. We are convinced to chase meaning outside our selves which almost always causes depression. The key is to enjoy your time in a dark world we have no control over. Although we can control our mindset. enjoy yourself while you survive.
