everyone looks at death in their own way.some fear it,some look forward
to it,some simply accept it.
some believe they continue afterward,some believe they simply become
dinner for worms.
leary saw it as an ultimate journey.if he was serious,which i doubt,
it is sad that he was not permitted to die in the way of his choosing.
to me, dying early sounds a far site better than spending my last days
in the hell of hospital care.it horrifies me to imagine bits of me
dropping off or breaking down,losing my mind to senility,etc.
i am not and have never been suicidal, but i hope that someday i die
in the sack,or failing that,in some righteous crusade or defense.
i get a little nervous thinking about dying,much in the way of the
nervousness i feel right now,contemplating my fast approaching trip to
europe.the unknown is always a little unsettling....
