Life is absolutely pointless, you will die, your kids will die, your dog will die, they'll all probably feel a lot of pain while it happens too, nobody will remember you existed in 100 years.
Bit too optimistic for my liking. "nobody will remember you existed in 100 years" - more like 6 bloody months..
Death would not be so bad if we could just disappear into it without any irksome preliminaries. But even those who expect the doors of heaven will open for them would prefer not to make their entrance after the physical trials of fighting for the life that God gave them. For the rest of us, the carousel of consciousness spins round and round, enlightening us only to the bloodcurdling probability that the worst will likely be saved for last. And even those who experience being alive as quite all right will have to live through such tacked-on endings as dying in a vehicular misadventure or lying abed sucking tubes. Life is like a story that is spoiled by an unsatisfactory resolution of preceding events. There are no retroactive fix-ups for the corpses we shall become. “All’s well that ends well” is well enough in the short-run. “In the long run,” as British economist John Maynard Keynes reportedly stated, “we are all dead.”
I'm planning semi retirement (no obvious jokes please) at 60. My pension starts then and that should be enough for me to spend every January here: please log in to view this image
I intend to live out my last near a beach somewhere hot. I'll be the creepy auld expat who ogles all the young topless wimmin and sits at the beach bar nursing a beer and a shamelessly obvious hardon.
I'm banking on being wealthy enough to pay for the gene therapy which will reverse ageing (probably won't have enough money for the wife and kids, mind). Then I'll die in about 150 years time in some misadventure with a hovercraft, or something.
Bad news i'm afraid, the combination of old age and alcohol seems to make a hard on (Visible or otherwise) an extremely unlikely occurrence.
I have yet to purchase my retirement plan . I will get it when i go down the shops for a cargo . Mibbe even stretch to a scratch card
