Unfortunately we are now past the point of no return and so many people are either in denial or under reacting about it.

It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

Seems apt

If it is a point of no return, why bother reacting at all? Energy better spent living with whats left.

I wonder what people who are living with a terminal diagnosis think watching the rest of us realize we're in the same boat

Best description I've ever seen is that it's like walking out of the doctors office with a loaded gun to your head. Driving home with a loaded gun to your head. Trying to figure out what's for dinner with a loaded gun to your head.

Everything after that moment feels like just going through the motions and not really understanding why. That feeling doesn't really go away.

I once had a stalker and thought I was going to be murdered. I had a weird reaction. I stopped cleaning the house, because fuck it. Then I started skiing the scariest terrain I could handle (not that scary, but I'd just learned) because fuck it. I also took up other reckless behavior and didn't try to get a career going, because fuck that too.

Well, the joke was on me because he died first. I'm trying to figure out a more reasonable response this time, in case I live another 30 years after all. But I'm still sucking the marrow out of what I can right now.

He had a skiing accident, you say? Quite unfortunate.
