92xj Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) Hot seat thread, not saying that it was getting out of hand, I just believe that the question asked was a good topic stater and a lot of people could comment it on so lets talk about it here. The question came up of how long you would like to live or at what point is dying the best option. I for one do not want to live as long as I can. I am thinking that if I live as long as I can that the later part of my life will be spent sitting or laying around not being able to do the things that I like to do the most. At the point in my life where I can not do the things I enjoy doing the most like being able to walk around the yard with friends and family, or see and hear to talk to the people that mean the most to me at that point in my life, I believe it is time for me to go. I by no means would hurry that process myself but would wish that something would help me do it. I also believe that my opinions and actions would be two totally different ideas if I was single and alone or married and had a big family. I know right now in my life, I am single and have been for the past 8 months and have acted totally different than I did when I was with someone. I am doing things that I would never do while I was with someone, like posibally moving across the country, doing a lot of free style motorcross riding on my quad, which leads to some nasty wrecks. I find myself challenging myself a lot more as a single person with the consequences being a lot more severe. So there is no real age I could put on the question of how long do you want to live. The only way I could answer that question would be when the time comes that I can not enjoy the things I love to do, then its time to go. That could be tomorrow or could be 90 years old, but I am thinking it will be around the 65-70 year mark, which is only 40 years down the road:eek: I got a lot of crap to do. discuss...

92xj Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 my response is in the hot seat thread and I'm too lazy to cut n paste This thread is for everybody else in RT land besides you(since you are special this week and have your own thread) dont let the door hit you on the way out:D Now in response to your post in the thread. I believe that your thoughts and ideas on the topic are pretty dang close to what I feel. When I am a burden to someone else and I can not take care of myself and do what needs to be done for me, then its time to close my eyes.

buckee Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) I have suffered from depression, and know what an aweful thing it is too be selfish and want to just die early in life. :( With the Lords help, many of my friends on here, and my loving wife, my outlook on life has changed dramatically. I want to live until the Lord takes me home, and not a minute later or sooner. We had a kid come in here once about 6 years ago who announced to all, that he was going to kill himself, because in his eyes, life wasn't worth living. Before anyone could even talk with him, he disappeared, and none of us ever saw him again on here. I forget what his AKA was, but I'm sure some of the oldtimers remember. That has bothered me alot til this day. And of course there have been other tragedies in here as well, that have really hit me hard. Life is precious. Very precious, not only to me, but to all of those who are a part of my life and who I am. Edited April 28, 2009 by buckee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gzilla45 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I kind of agree with a few have already stated here. It is out of my hands. When the man decides it is my time, well then it is my time. I certainly want it to be a lot more years but that gives me all the more motivation to live each day to it's fullest. If I go next week, and I hope I don't, I think I've lived a good 29 years. But if I get another 10, 20, or 30 years then you can sure bet that it will be well spent.

GWSmith Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Not a moment before God wants me home...If I'm not able to do the things I want to do then if I'm still here I hope it's because I'm being used to help God's plan for someone around me. Buckee...I remember that young man but dont remember his username either. The entire forums talked to him for a couple days straight...then we never heard from him again that we know of anyways.

The_Kat Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 yep. me too. don't mess with our lord's plan. Just so it's VERY clear....I didn't say or even come close to implying that I would kill myself. I'll go when the good lord calls just like the rest of you. I just hope I'm not in diapers and a nursing home when he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
