[QUOTE="zand, post: 549385, member: 85197"] No, you didn't say we should all die in our 50's, just 'so what?' I'm not sure what that means....so what if we lose a few along the way maybe? Those times you speak of where 'no knowledge was bliss' were dreadful times, where loved ones died suddenly for no apparent reason. Of course there always was a reason, we just had no warnings back then. You are right, of course I am not exactly happy, I am currently trying to work through all of my problems, past and present, and that is why I am not always a bundle of laughs right now. Sometimes I am, just not always. So I am not happy - does that mean I'd be better off dead? Or the world would be better off without me? I 'll give you my own answers to both those questions - 'No' and 'No'. This reply isn't a dig at you either; I just want to express that I would rather be informed and aware than live with an ignorance is bliss mindset. It's this mindset that causes so many premature deaths, ( we have seen it on this forum before....'I won't let diabetes take over my life...I'll eat what I want to eat' I simply want to die when I am good and ready and not of some avoidable illness which sends me to the grave before my time....and that is why I am putting myself through this unhappy time, so that I can come through the other side healthier, fitter, stronger and yes...happier.:) [/QUOTE]
