I do know that I would chose to beat it. And if it turns out I'm wrong, and I loose, then I guess I loose. Done. I'm ok with being wrong. I might be mistaken. I've been wrong once before, or so I'm told  But if I'm right... I say, decide to win and then just win.

I like your fire  The thread was about what you would do if you knew you were dying, and folks were responding with their thought process for such a time. My response was to convey that while it seems obvious right now what one might do, things may not be quite so cut & dried when you're in the midst of it, and was showing how my mind wasn't clear enough for such organized thinking. As a side note...I did fight it then, and won, though some current challenges are looming  Good thoughts, though, thanks! |
