Death

Eichhörnchen · 12-05-18, 03:23 AM

I'm with Steve on the 'God' thing... it's not simply a craven fear of the Almighty that keeps myself and my friends from murdering everybody around us, just the simple civilised desire to be decent

Aside from that issue, I note this week that the finger-wagging brigade have been on our backs again:

This guy was an athlete and younger than me... now he's dead from heart failure

We had an Attorney General in Sydney in the '80s, Paul Landa, super fit athlete he was. He dropped dead on the Squash Court one day at quite a young age. Heart Attack, he pushed himself too hard.

Every year we've got a "Fun Run", the city to Bondi Beach, quite a few miles up and down hills, big prizemoney. A mate of mine went in it and the guy in front of him just collapsed and died. Heart Attack. Every years there's fatalities.

People take their fitness too seriously, they're too extreme. Whatever happened to "Everything in Moderation"????

The only exercise I used to get was walking across Maccas carpark to the counter, and now it's down to the park to smoke a couple of cigars and enjoy the scenery

( Eich.. knows what I mean ).

It's not healthy, who cares. I'm not scared of Death. Everyone I care about has passed away. Afterlife or No??? It waits for us all.
