Ah, well, now I disagree with you. I'm advocating doing heavily addictive and damaging drugs with abandon because (and to a degree I'm speculating here) I think they must be quite nice (rather moreish, I'm told). Why else would people fritter their lives away on them? I certainly don't find the idea of my eventual demise to be a depressing prospect.
Without knowing exactly when we are going to die, we can cling to the hope--at least subconciously--that it's a long way down the road. That is somewhat comforting. Knowing that death is imminent and soon leaves one eventually helpless and frantic, feeling like there is more to do to set things straight.
There are exceptions of course, I'm speaking in general terms.

Originally posted by sumydidI expect I'd have the odd weepy moment on account of loved ones I'd be leaving behind, but no, largely I've long since come to terms with my mortality and I'm fine with it.

Please do not send me any more PMs. Thanks.
Now you got everyone thinking I left by sending you a pm.
I did no such thing. Please tell the forum the truth so that I may leave with grace and not the unlistening marauder you have made me out to be.
So. Did I send you a pm?

In fact I have no reason to think that everyone is thinking about you at all, and neither do you, frankly. Whether you leave with good grace or or without it, is really a matter for you. 🙂

Can you please tell the forum if I sent you a pm recently (last few days, as you had made out), or whether I stopped sending you pms (how many was it 2, or perhaps 3), as soon as you requested it.
(BTW (for anyone that cares) my pms were sent to try to stop the bickering that FMF and I had gotten into a couple of times on here, for no apparent good reason)
(I only reply now to see if you can be truthful and ammend the impression that you had made of me, or whether you will keep snaking your way with your words and giving false impressions about posters which are unwarranted and frankly uncalled for)

Nevertheless, I made it abundantly clear to you that I would not PM you ever again, so I stand by my post above, and I think you should apologize or at least clarify to the forum that I had NOT sent you any pm's as soon as you requested it.

Originally posted by Rajk999Thank you Rajk.
Ok .. so the poor guy can go with dignity and peace now.
I did enjoy engaging with you guys, and I know I am drawing this out a bit, but I am a man who stands by his words.
If FMF doesn't want to apologize for giving a false impression of me , so be it.
I will still read your guys posts, but I feel that my posting has lost whatever little relevance,(if any), it had, and perhaps I may even post now and then, but (just to repeat myself) , I will not be posting not nearly as prominantly as I had before, and I will limit my spirituality forum activity to reading the posts.
I hope FMF can understand the spirit of my last few posts on here addressed to him and if not apologize, at least tell the forum that I did stop PM-ing him as soon as he asked me too. (which was some months ago)
(This may seem very trivial to many of you here, but to me I feel it's important to leave on a sound note. I would like to be remembered as a truthful poster, for thats what I am like in real life, and not some sort of "pm badger" as FMF has (either consciously or unconsciously ) portrayed me as.)

karoly,
With regards to these last three posts of yours. And your apparent fixation on my lack of spirituality. And its role in your decision to stop posting. And your preoccupation with what "everyone" thinks; whether or not you are "a truthful poster" and ending on a "sound note". And the "dignity" thing that Rajk999 mentioned.
It sounds like you really should take a rest from this place.

This is my last post, (for at least a few weeks). It's a shame you couldn't answer a direct question (and it's not the first time), about me sending you a pm, when I did no such thing.
If you dont want to clear it up then fine. Enjoy yourself.
I will be reading but have vowed not to post for a while.
I see personal attacks from you and deliberate misconstruing of my, and others post.
The fact that you couldn't admit that I had NOT sent you a pm for a few months is just another reason I've have enough.
I hope the spirituality forum comes back to some of it's former glory, but while you cant even admit the most simple mistakes that you have made ,(perhaps not mistakes, but you certainly didn't attempt to clarify your posts after me asking you to do so several times.)
Bye, friend
