How do you identify a Dad ?...this may help

Where were you when you...

realized you're not who you thought you were?

This pondering piece of genius reminds me of a silly little verse my father used to jokingly repeat from time to time

"I'm not the man I used to be

in fact I never was !! " ....

Think what you want to be remembered for ... and It will tell you about your self-perception

What do you want to be remembered for? The answer will tell you what to do with the rest of your life."

Love and freedom must go hand in hand for inner peace and ultimate happiness. The ultimate happiness is

I fear prolonged dieing (suffering )but not physical death.. Life is like the ice cube that can become water or even vapor,

one of three forms but still exists. Are we not much more than water vapor ? The spirit or life force that animates life cannot

be destroyed !

anyway here are some positive things to think about

1. Live life the way you're supposed to. Don't waste your lifetime worrying about death. Instead, fill each day with as much joy as possible, and don't let little things get you down. Go outside, play with friends, or take up a new sport. Just do anything that will take your mind off dying, and put it on living.
2. Don't worry until you need to. Death is something you shouldn't worry about but perhaps learn to accept as part of life. Death is something to worry about if you have a fatal disease, and the chances of death are high. But don't worry about this when you're 13 years old. The average life span is 75 years in most developed countries, and you can still live a lot longer.
3. Be optimistic. It is shown that optimists are less likely to contract heart disease than pessimists. If you think badly of the future, you are likely to die sooner. So don't worry, and you'll live longer.
4. Realize that there's hope. No one knows what happens when you die. If there really is a soul in your body, it could even be reborn. Hold on to your hopes, and they could actually come true.
5. Develop Healthy Spirituality You don't need to belong to an organized religion, but do explore spirituality. There are also new scientific researches on near-death experiences and past lives that show death is not the end.
6. Death does not equal pain. Although life is a great thing, remember that when you are dead you will not be in pain, or suffering. You will be free of your body, at the very least, and whatever pain your body brings you.

So what are you all staring at... ain't you ever seen a summertime Christmas tree ?
