To live or not to live  |
|
 Let me tell you a scenario. You're old, maybe around 60 or 70. During your youth, you did not take care of your body as you should have like drinking alcohol, smoking, etc. Now, at this age you're paying the price. Heart problems, kidney problems, weight problems, diabetic, etc. Soon you're so sick that you have to be hospitalised and had to foot a large amount of money to keep you comfortable. You find yourself burdening your immediate family members. They had to come to take care of you in the hospital, pay a ridiculous amount to keep you comfortable and perform all sorts of check ups. You know in your heart that you will never get better and all they or you can do is pay to keep you as comfortable as possible.
The question is what will you do? Do you keep trying to live knowing it will burden everyone and also knowing you will never get better and will suffer for it till you expire? Will you try to let nature take its course by not going to the hospital or take any medicine to ease you?

| 1. abhjth003 (24) | 5 months ago |  well i will try to live as much as i can and do my best to spreading messages about harmful effects of a healthy diet with my self as an example.
I think that is the best thing one can do in such a situation. And every one not only in that situation but also who know that can do that work. That will definitely enlighten the present generation about the harm full effects of alcohol and junk foods.
Definitely i will take that suffering and show the world my miseries and let them form my life.

2.  aravindkrd (344) | 5 months ago |  Yeah just can't think about such a situation.. But I can say one thing, I'm correcting myself now.. by having a healthy lifestyel.. and even at the age of 60 its not all over... Its never high time to correct yourself.. Go for traditional (ayurveda) treatments and a healthy life style (best food habits and exercise) you can still revive your health to be the one of the fittest even at 60. Well its easy to say.. but we should our best! The body's immunity is always the strongest weapon!

| 3. ucue2008 (891) | 5 months ago |  Wow, a tough questions. I think I will choose to live because everything happens for reason. I'm still alive so that I can still feel the wonder of the world and as a beleiver, I will take the time remaining to do repentance of my sins and mistakes. If I'm still able and afford, I will continue to have medication and if I wasn't, then I will try to strive and be strong. That's what I will do.

| 4. sudiptacallingu (7102) | 5 months ago |  i don’t think all is lost. Nature and the human body has amazing resilience power and you should look to alternate medicine and therapy to make yourself comfortable. You may not be fully fit but regular exercise, controlled diet and a healthy mind can make you feel better. Also all these are not so expensive so they can be afforded. Your family members will also feel better when they see that you are taking the initiative to keep fit without expensive medication.

5.  Milesxiao (103) | 5 months ago |  I am very interested to discuss the problem. First, everyone has his own life time and the right of selecting living method. The god is equity to all from certain aspect.Secondly,time cannot take back, so we need not to regret for the
past, regardlessly right or wrong. Third, catch the present, do your best is important of all.
so I suggest to take its course and do some meaningful things in the spare time.

| 6. fatmant (17) | 5 months ago | Well if I was to sick to do anything I think I would just asked to be killed or I would commit suicide. I couldn't do that to my family, being a burden would just make me feel awful. Anyways I guess the medicine would be easy because you would at least go out happy with no pain, depending on the medicine you take. | |

| yusufcarlos (23) | 5 months ago | Hi. I'm sorry you felt that way. You have the right to choose your way but I felt compelled to tell you this. To me suicide or asking someone to kill me is never the answer. It's like giving up or surrender. Think how sad will your family be if you take that route. I know this is not an easy choice. Your family or friends may spend their time and money to help you. They have an expectation that you will fight till the end.
My choice will be to stop them spending their money on unnecessary drugs or medicine but i'll gladly take their time. I will never give up fighting but I'll never subject my family to sink into big loans because of me. Some people may say money is nothing but life is everything. That's a load of bull for the low and middle income earner. Some of you might say, money will not buy happiness. Well, OK, but it'll definitely help a lot. | |

7.  Sweeten (150) | 5 months ago |  I would try to live up the time I did have left. I would spend time with my family and go travel and make the most of the time I do have left. Most importantly I would help others and pass on my message of what smoking and alcohol has done to me.

| 8. carrie1390 (60) | 5 months ago |  I would go with the later. If it's more painful to live than to die then there is no need to suffer. There's also no need to keep making my family pay bills they can't afford. I'd hope I have life insurance so when I die my family doesn't get stuck with funeral costs.

| 9. glambank (70) | 5 months ago |  Wow sounds like me! Well I have been the hospital several times, the doctors say just lose weight and your major problems will be gone. I will get my act together basically because I have hope, without hope then you may just want to leave this world. But then I would have to answer to God.

| yusufcarlos (23) | 5 months ago | Yes, there's always hope but it is not necessarily be an expensive treatment. I think if you have a very positive outlook your chances of getting better is very high. Patch Adams had a very good idea. If you don't know him look him up.
I've also read somewhere that you can buy some audio MP3s that can hypnotise you to loose your weight. It gives suggestions to your subconscious to eat less and feel sated after a normal meal. Never tried it, so I'm not sure it'll work. There's also chinese acupuncture.
You could always go for the traditional way, eat less and exercise. This is hard, you will need support from your family and friends unless you have an incredible amount of will or really good incentives. I watch 'The biggest loser' to keep my spirits up:)

When people gete old.Everything become sad.Maybe you always think you will be your family's bear.Especially when they get sick.I think it's ok, Don't think you will take your family suffer a good family number only care about your safe I think.You should enjoy the last end time of your life.

|
| yusufcarlos (23) | 5 months ago | Yes, a good family will help no matter what even mortgaging their house in order to pay some obscure treatment that may or may not help. It is sad sometimes that doctors are becoming more business minded these days, I'm not saying all doctors is like that but it is the truth. I definitely agree that we should enjoy our twilight years after working our a$$ off for decades but not by sacrificing my family's future. | |
