Long Ago
I decided long ago
that death being an inevitability
there was no point in worrying about it
best enjoy life for what's bein' offered
don't worry 'bout how it will end
it will come soon enough... worry or not
that's my philosophy...
Besides...Happy people live longer...

"Carpe Diem quam minimum credula postero" which means "Seize the day, trusting little as possible in the future". Horatio was right. I believe this to. Your words echo this very deep reality and the answer is that we all must take the pleasure of the moment, not worrying about tomorrow. J

Yup... worry is one of the most self-destructive of emotional states...I think one has to either do something constructive... or get the hell out of the way...
Put all that worrying energy to good use...and in the end it will pay...thanks for the support Orenda...much appreciated...Ely
